Unveiled! The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes

Tuesday May 4, 6:30 p.m. at the Yellow Springs Library

Local author Abbey Pen Baker-known to her neighbors in Yellow Springs as Rebecca Morean- will read from her current and upcoming books, In the Dead of Winter and Death at the Round Table. Set in the Roaring twenties, Ms. Pen Baker’s new mystery series features a private lady detective Myrl Adler Norton, daughter of Irene Adler and, yes…Sherlock Holmes!

From Abbey Pen Baker:

Myrl Adler Norton was, by all accounts, one of the most remarkable women of the early twentieth century. The daughter of the acclaimed opera singer, Irene Adler, and distinguished lawyer Godfrey Norton, she was a respected professor of logic at Smith College as well as one of the most famous consulting detectives of all time. The books of her exploits, written by her lifelong friend and confidante, Faye Martin Tullis, are among the most popular in the history of detective literature. Now, with thanks to the Irregular Special Press and Breese Books, many of these titles, so long out of print, will find new readers.

Join me at the Yellow Springs Library for a short reading and discussion of the writing process and historical research. Book signing will follow.
