But while tearing down a dilapidated ice house on the property, Robert inadvertently stumbles upon a well-dressed mummified human corpse, the obvious victim of foul play. And as Lily works hand-in-hand with the disarmingly attractive Chief of Police Howard Walker on the local front and Robert pursues the well-heeled John Doe's identity, a second body turns up to complicate an already complexly murderous matter - tying the Brewsters up in a knotty mess of deception and betrayal ... and leaving them dangerously exposed to the watchful eyes of a killer.

New York Forge 2001 0312854935 / 9780312854935 First Edition Hard Cover Near Fine Near Fine 8vo - over 7¾
Before Caleb Carr and Laurie R. King, Carole Nelson Douglas gave readers a compelling look into Victoriana with a bold new detective character: Irene Adler, the only woman ever to have "outwitted" Sherlock Holmes. An operatic diva and intellectual equal (and some would say superior) to most of the men she encounters, Irene is as much at home with disguises and a revolver as with high society and haute couture. Now Irene Adler returns, and so does Jack the Ripper! Chapel Noir picks up the hunt for Jack the Ripper after the London atrocities of autumn, 1888. In the Paris spring of 1889 a lavish World Exposition introduces the Eiffel Tower to the world and draws the day's most prominent personages. Even as celebration rules the City of Light, Irene Adler and her companions pursue history's darkest serial killer, following a savage trail of murders from the city's most elite bordellos to its lowest cellars and catacombs. The hunt will eventually reveal a shocking, utterly new suspect and motive for Jack the Ripper.
