Of all the original Holmes stories penned by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, his tale, A Scandal in Bohemia holds a unique place in the canon of the Great Detective.

The case pitted Holmes against an adversary who matched his own clever and cunning,

Irene Adler, opera singer, actress, and blackmailer of the King of Bohemia. Holmes is retained by

His Highness to retrieve a compromising photograph of the King and Miss Adler, a

picture she threatened to reveal to his fiance.

Their confrontation has a profound effect on Holmes, so much so that, as Dr. Watson reveals in the first line of the story to Sherlock Holmes she is always the woman

by Rachel McAdams in the two Robert Downey Jr. Holmes pictures.

was adapted several times for radio.
