Book excerpt: The recently married Valeria Brinton uncovers an unsettling truth about her new husband, including a false identity and the potential murder of his first wife. Valeria is determined to solve the mystery of her husband’s previous marriage and presumed guilt. Shortly after her wedding, Valeria Brinton learns her husband, Eustace Woodville, has been living a lie. His real name is Eustace Macallan and he was previously accused of murdering his first wife. Although he wasn’t convicted, the Scottish verdict “not proven” left plenty of room for speculation. Yet, Valeria is committed to her husband and believes he’s innocent. Despite the naysayers, she embarks on a journey to find the truth, clearing Eustace’s name once and for all. The Law and the Lady is one of Wilkie Collins classic detective novels. It’s a timeless tale of perseverance despite the looming judgement of nineteenth century society. The protagonist’s unwavering faith and inquisitive nature makes for a compelling read that captivates one’s spirit and imagination. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Law and the Lady is both modern and readable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years ago, her husband stood accused of murder - and the verdict that came in from the jury was the Scottish Verdict, Not Proven. The jury had not evidence enough to convict him - nor enough to comfortably exonerate him. Eustace could not bear the weight of her discovery; he fled to the continent, to live in anonymity. But Valeria knew her husband, and she loved him. She knew he was innocent, too, with the sort of intuition that guides the lucky flawlessly. And she set out to prove it to the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Valeria Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name in the marriage register incorrectly, and this slip is followed by the gradual disclosure of a series of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads on to another set of questions and enigmas. Her discoveries prompt her to defy her husband's authority, to take the law into into a labyrinthine maze of false clues and deceptive identities, in which the exploration of the tangled workings of the mind becomes linked to an investigation into the masquerades of femininity. Probably the first full-length novel with a woman detective as its heroine, The Law and the Lady is a fascinating example of Collins's later fiction. First published in 1875, it employs many of the techniques used in The Moonstone, developing them in bizarre and unexpected ways, and in its Gothic and fantastic elements The Law and the Lady adds a significant dimension to the history of detective fiction. - ;Valeria Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name in the marriage register incorrectly, and this slip is followed by the gradual disclosure of a series of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads on to another set of questions and enigmas.
