COLLINS, WILLIAM WILKIE — The Moonstone
Smudsomslag
World's Classics. 1987. Paperback with dust jacket, 18.5cm. Book, Suspense, humor, and romance abound in this 1868 mystery, in which a gem stolen from a Hindu shrine resurfaces in an English country home -- with a trio of watchful Brahmins hot on its trail. With a reconstruction of the crime, red herrings and a 'locked-room' puzzle this novel is generally regarded as the first modern detective story. Very Good/None issued.
