Called "the first and greatest of British detective novels" by T. S. Eliot, Wilkie Collins's The Moonstone is a masterpiece of suspense. A fabulous yellow gemstone becomes the dangerous inheritance of Rachel Verinder. Outside her Yorkshire country house watch the Hindu priests who've waited for quite some time to reclaim their ancient talisman, looted from the holy city of Somnauth. Once the Moonstone disappears, the truth looks simple, however in mid-Victorian England, no one is exactly what they seem to be, and nothing can be studied for awarded. Witnesses, suspects, and detectives each narrate the storyline in turn. The bemused butler, the love-stricken housemaid, the enigmatic detective Sergeant Cuff, the drug-addicted scientist - each speculate on the puzzle as Collins weaves their narratives alongside one another.
