Auguste Lupa is a fictional character in two pastiche novels by author John Lescroart. The novels are Son of Holmes (1986) and Rasputin's Revenge (1987). Lupa, a secret agent during the First World War, is the son of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler. It is strongly implied that he is the younger version of fictional detective Nero Wolfe in the mystery series by Rex Stout. Like Wolfe, Lupa's first name is that of a Roman emperor and his second name means "wolf." He also shares several of Wolfe's attributes, including a tendency to be overweight, a love for fine cooking and beer, and a preference for the color yellow. Lupa explains that he was raised by various relatives in different European countries following the death of his mother in a train accident. He saw his father on holidays.
Author William S. Baring-Gould previously postulated that Nero Wolfe was the son of Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler in his books Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street (1962) and Nero Wolfe of West Thirty-Fith Street, the life and times of America's largest private detective. He is also considered the son of Holmes by Philip Jose Farmer, the creator of the Wold Newton family.
In Son of Holmes, Lupa investigates the murder of an intelligence agent and acts of sabotage in a small French town during World War I. In Rasputin's Revenge he travels to Russia at the request of Tsarina Alexandra and investigates the murder of a relative of Tsar Nicholas II.
