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.
