Moonstone Book - Flame Tree Publishing

An exciting tale of mystery and crime from the master storyteller. A story by the original crime master Wilkie Collins. Transferred from temples in India to atmospheric Victorian England, the scene unfolds in a story that weaves between death, drugs, secrets, and above all, misdirection. Rachel inherits the moonstone from her uncle on her 18th birthday, a cursed diamond of sacred significance stolen from India. When the stone disappears, Sergeant Cuff faces an innumerable number of potential suspects, from mysterious Indian jugglers who may not be who they seem to a very strangely behaving maid. Told from the perspective of different living characters, Collins crafts a story of intrigue, full of false turns, as the moonstone leaves a trail of destruction.
