Publisher Description: To Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. In Sherlock Holmes' first short story, he must face his most wily adversary yet--Irene Adler, "The Woman". Contracted by a Bohemian king to retrieve a series of compromising photographs ahead of the royal wedding, Holmes is caught up in disguises, bluffs, marriages, double bluffs, smoke alarms and heartbreak. To this supposedly heartless detective, Irene Adler is in many ways the first and only love of Holmes' we see in the whole canon, and for this reason the story is unmissable.
