Chapel Noir Summary
|
Before Caleb Carr, Anne Perry, and Laurie R. King, Carole Nelson Douglas gave readers a delightful look into Victoriana with one of the most impressive detective characters: Irene Adler, the only woman ever to have outwitted Sherlock Holmes. An operatic diva, intellectually equal (and some would say superior) to most of the men she encounters, Irene Adler is as much at home with a spyglass and revolver as with haute couture and gala balls. When several young women are discovered brutally slaughtered in the lavishly appointed room of a Parisian brothel, the police are forced to bring in Irene because "someone" with a position of power has made an under-the-table request for her help. But is she really to find the truth or is her presence part of a complicated plot to conceal the murderer's identity? For the true horror -- and the thing that has Irene most concerned -- is that the murders bear an uncanny resemblance to a series of murders that took place in London just a short time earlier. |
