The Woman In White - Softcover

Who was the woman in white and what was her secret?
Was she an escaped mad woman, a displaced heir, or even an unearthly apparition?
This is the mystery that Marian Halcombe and Walter Hartright must solve if they have any hopes of saving their dear friend Laura Fairlie from the dark forces that wish to lay claim to her estate and her life.
Masterfully filled with all of the elements of the classic Victorian thriller--seemingly unexplained apparitions, exotic dangers, a larger than life villain to rival Doyle’s Moriarty, secret ancestries, and the looming threat of an asylum next door--The Woman in White is a classic novel of sensation that is as much of a page-turner today as it was when it was first published close to a century and half ago.

Wilkie Collins was born in 1824.  A close friend and contemporary of Charles Dickens, Collins became one of the best known of Victorian fiction writers.  He wrote 25 novels, 50 short stories, 15 plays, and over 100 non-fiction pieces.  His work showed the beginnings of detective fiction and horror writing.  He died on September 23, 1889.
