A Scandal in Bohemia
A Scandal in Bohemia
A SHORT STORY BY ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE⠀•⠀PEN-AND-INK ILLUSTRATIONS BY RUTA KUZMICKAS
“A Scandal in Bohemia” is the story of Irene Adler – “the woman” – who holds compromising documents over the King of Bohemia. Adler is undoubtedly the greatest female lead in the Holmes canon, and perhaps the person Sherlock himself admires most.
As excited as we are about the re-telling of this story, we are doubly excited about Ruta Kuzmickas' original artwork. She has created a suite of pen-and-ink illustrations — over a dozen in total – which capture the story perfectly. Her arresting portrait of Irene on our cover is just the beginning.
