The Penguin English Library Edition of The Moonstone by Wilkie
Collins 'Here was our quiet English house suddenly invaded by a
devilish Indian Diamond - bringing after it a conspiracy of living
rogues, set loose on us by the vengeance of a dead man' When Rachel
Verinder's birthday present - the Moonstone, a large Indian diamond
- is stolen at her party, suspicion and the diamond's mysterious
curse seem set to ruin everyone and everything she loves. Only
Sergeant Cuff's famous detective skills offer any hope of peace and
a future for them all. The intricate plot and modern technique of
multiple narrators made Wilkie Collin's 1868 work a huge success in
the Victorian sensation genre. With a reconstruction of the crime,
red herrings and a 'locked-room' puzzle, The Moonstone was also a
major precursor of the modern mystery novel. The Penguin English
Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the
eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of
the First World War.
