The Woman in White

Before Sherlock Holmes, there was the mystery of the woman in white.

Late one night on a lonely moonlit road near London, art teacher Walter Hartright encounters a distressed woman dressed entirely in white. Her brief, chilling warning is only the beginning of a vast and terrifying conspiracy involving a stolen identity, a locked asylum, and a high-stakes struggle for a fortune.

Wilkie Collins' The Woman in White is widely considered the first "sensation novel" and a landmark in the history of the detective story. Told through a series of vivid first-hand testimonies, the narrative shifts between the heroic Marian Halcombe—one of the most formidable female characters in Victorian literature—and the brilliantly charismatic yet villainous Count Fosco.

As the plot moves from the quiet halls of Limmeridge House to the ominous depths of Blackwater Park, Collins masterfully weaves a tale of psychological suspense that remains as gripping today as it was in 1859. This definitive edition presents the quintessential Victorian thriller, perfect for fans of gothic mystery and intricate plotting.
