Description
The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins First published in 1868, "The Moonstone" is considered one of the pioneering works of detective fiction. A valuable diamond, stolen from India during the Siege of Seringapatam, sets off a complex investigation into its theft and recovery. A large sum was bequeathed to Rachel Verinder on her eighteenth birthday, but the night she wore the Moonstone for the first time, it vanished. Suspicion fell on three Indian jugglers who were actually Hindu priests with a deep connection to the stolen diamond. Despite Sergeant Cuff's efforts, the mystery remained unsolved at the end of the night. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and features Wilkie Collins's enduring tale of intrigue and deception.
