«La Piedra Lunar (II)» is the mystery novel by Wilkie Collins, published by El País in paperback (372 pages, in Spanish).
Rachel Verinder inherits the Moonstone on her birthday, a diamond that an English officer snatched from a Hindu statue; that very night, the jewel disappears. Sergeant Cuff, the first detective in British literature, investigates the theft through the accounts, not always consistent, of several characters.
This volume is the second part of La Piedra Lunar in the Serie Negra collection from El País, with a translation by Horacio Laurora. The novel was originally published as The Moonstone in 1868.
A work of interest to fans of classic detective fiction and Victorian literature.
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.
