'To Sherlock Holmes she is always THE woman. I have seldom heard him mention her under any other name. In his eyes she eclipses and predominates the whole of her sex. It was not that he felt any emotion akin to love for Irene Adler. All emotions, and that one particularly, were abhorrent to his cold, precise, but admirably balanced mind.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'
"I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for." -- Sherlock Holmes, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'
'He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late. And when he speaks of Irene Adler, or when he refers to her photograph, it is always under the honourable title of THE woman.' -- John Watson, 'A Scandal in Bohemia'

The book you are asking about might be called 'Castle Rouge: A Novel of Suspense featuring Sherlock Holmes, Irene Adler, and Jack the Ripper' by Carole Nelson Douglas, which is a parody or pastiche of the Sherlock Holmes character.
