In Victorian England, Rachel Verinder inherits a valuable yellow diamond that her uncle, an army officer stationed in India, had snatched from a Hindu shrine.

Ideal for readers of Victorian classics and of mystery and crime novels with multiple narrative voices.
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
