Little Novels: Each a Meeting Between Two Strangers

Fourteen stories from Collins's late years: a dead man's photograph, a nurse who sees what is coming, a marriage annulled by Scottish law, a mesmerist. He invented the detective novel with The Moonstone, worked deep in laudanum for the last twenty years, and kept two households without marrying either woman. These are the short, sharp pieces from the end — machinery stripped down to what makes it turn.
