Sherlock Holmes and the Twelve Thefts of Christmas - Tim Major - książka

Sherlock Holmes encounters a puzzling musical score that signals a clever Christmas challenge by Irene Adler. Each clue revolves around the idea of 'theft without theft', such as a statue disappearing from a museum only to be discovered concealed within the same room. As snow blankets London approaching Christmas, Holmes becomes consumed by the "Adler Variations." This obsession threatens to sideline the case of his new client, Norwegian arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen, who has been the target of several ominous threats—animal carcasses left at his doorstep. Could these be bizarre offerings from a ghostly presence that has supposedly haunted Nansen since his Greenland expedition? And is there a possible link between this mystery and Irene Adler's intricate scheme?
