About this ebook
A Fiendish Killer Stalks the Shadows of Paris, and Only Irene Adler Can Stop the Reign of Terror
In Chapel Noir, the fifth book in Carole Nelson Douglas's critically acclaimed Irene Adler series, the operatic diva and intellectual equal of Sherlock Holmes is thrust into one of the darkest periods of criminal fact and fiction. Two courtesans are found brutally slaughtered in a lavish Paris boudoir, and Irene must investigate the case with her faithful companion, sheltered parson's daughter Penelope Huxleigh.
But these Paris killings mimic a series of gruesome murders that terrorized London's dangerous Whitechapel district only months before, drawing Irene and her archrival, Sherlock Holmes, into a duel of wits with a fiendish opponent. As much at home with disguises and a revolver as with high society and haute couture, Irene must uncover the truth before more women fall victim to the killer's blade.
Blending historical mystery, romantic suspense, and a bold new heroine, Carole Nelson Douglas gives readers a compelling look into Victoriana with the award-winning Irene Adler series, reinventing "the woman" that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle introduced in "A Scandal in Bohemia."
