A Soul of Steel

In this delightful encore to "Good Night, Mr. Holmes", diva-turned-detective Irene Adler engages in a battle of wits with Sherlock Holmes. Irene and her confidante Nell Huxleigh run into a stranger suffering from poisoning who turns out to be Quentin Stanhope, who is acquainted with both Nell and Watson. When they take him home, an attempt is made on his life, and before he has time to properly recover, Quentin vanishes. He also leaves behind a trail of deadly cobras evidently set to attack him, his late servant, and Watson - a trail Irene is avid to follow. In a new mystery that includes the background of Col. Sebastian Moran and the location of Dr. Watson's migrating war wound, Irene lures Holmes into the hunt for a vicious killer who seeks to hide a traitorous past.
