«El secreto» is the mystery novel by Wilkie Collins, published by Rialp in paperback (384 pages, in Spanish).
Rosamond Treverton is dying at Porthgenna Tower mansion, but she does not want to take a terrible secret to the grave: she manages to put it in a letter before dying, though she cannot get her maid Sarah to swear to reveal it to her husband, Captain Treverton. Sensing the harm that truth could cause to innocent beings, Sarah makes a desperate decision and devotes the following years to preventing the person she most wants to protect from discovering what the letter hides.
Part of the «Narraciones y Novelas» collection from Rialp. Spanish edition translated by María Cristina Graell Vázquez.
William Wilkie Collins was an English novelist and playwright known especially for The Woman in White (1860), a mystery novel and early sensation novel, and for The Moonstone (1868), which established many of the ground rules of the modern detective novel and is also perhaps the earliest clear example of the police procedural genre.
