Summary

Sherlock Holmes, Arsene Lupin, and Irene Adler meet up in London only to find a strange chess problem in the Times signed by "The Black Friar." It's written in an unknown code which Sherlock is eager to solve. The next day, the city is rocked by the news of a rich merchant found murdered. On the merchant's desk was scarlet rose: the same flower used as the calling card for a brazen criminal group that haunted the streets of London twenty years ago. Could the Scarlet Rose Gang be back?

Booklist Review

Young Irene Adler again joins her friends Sherlock Holmes and Arséne Lupin in a caper involving codes, disguises, cryptic clues, murder, revenge, and nighttime rendezvous in seedy neighborhoods. First come coded newspaper messages, then, roses are left beside two London corpses. Has the Red Rose Gang, a group of thieves last heard from 20 years ago, risen again or is something even darker afoot? Broad hints that one uncaptured member of the original gang was a government official, plus a casual mention of the name Moriarty at the end, point to future exploits for the intrepid trio of teen sleuths.--Peters, John Copyright 2010 Booklist
