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. Arthur Conan Doyle needs no introduction. A Scandal in Bohemia was his first Sherlock Holmes short story and, in his own accounting, one of his greatest. Rta Kuzmickas is a visual artist, pianist, poet, photographer, and interdisciplinary collaborator. Although she has played the piano since age six and has earned two degrees in piano performance from Rice University, her heart lies in crossovers of images, words, movement, and music. She frequently collaborates with composers, musicians, and artists. Rta lives in Portland, Oregon. (No Reply Press).
