Irene's Last Waltz

Irene Adler (the only woman ever to have outwitted Sherlock Holmes), her dashing barrister husband Godfrey Norton and their companion, the indomitable Miss Nell Huxleigh, have cone home to Paris, to rest and recuperate after their latest adventures. But rest is fleeting, for Irene is soon approached by a royal princess who is faced with a loveless husband-and a puzzling dilemma that could destroy several European nations.

Irene is drawn by this puzzle, like some beautiful fly to a deadly spider's web. For the husband in question is none other than the King of Bohemia--the man whose advances Irene once spurned ... and who has sought her ever since. Irene decides she must accept this challenge, and the hunt is on.

But who is the hunted, and who the prize?
