The Law and the Lady (Penguin Classics)

by David Skilton

The Law and the Lady (Penguin Classics) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The Law and the Lady builds on Collins's tradition as the leading practitioner of "sensation fiction." Valeria Woodville investigates the murder of her husband's first wife in an attempt to prove him guiltless. Rich in plot and characters, including the extraordinary "man-machine" Miserrimus Dexter and his female cousin "Ariel, " the novel exposes the repression of Victorian domestic life and marriage.

Synopsis:
