The Adventure of Mata Hari's Harem: A New Sherlock Holmes Mystery

Sherlock Holmes blushed ever so slightly. "Very well then, I shall expect your return with the document in forty-eight hours." He slid a small stack of gold coins over to her. Without inspecting them, she placed them in her purse. "Oh, you do know how to make a lady happy, don't you?" She stood up from her chair in the bar at the Ritz Hotel in Paris. "I do believe I shall enjoy working with you, Mr. Holmes." Without warning, she bent down and planted a kiss on the cheek of Sherlock Holmes and then stood back up and gave him an odd look. " why is I feel nothing from you? Were you neutered as a schoolboy?" "Madam, a man must choose between being susceptible to the wiles of a woman, or being a good detective. He cannot have both. Allow me to wish you Godspeed." The woman known to the world as Mata Hari, turned and glided her way out of the bar. The eyes of every man in the room followed her.
