«La piedra lunar» is Wilkie Collins's detective novel, published by Ediciones B in hardback (500 pages, in Spanish).
Raquel Verinder receives as a birthday gift a diamond stolen from a Hindu shrine, and that very night it disappears. Sergeant Cuff investigates the theft among guests and servants, reconstructing the events from each character's account. The work combines a criminal enigma with Victorian melodrama and multi-perspective narration.
It was originally published as «The Moonstone» in 1868. It is considered a precursor of the detective novel and a classic of Victorian fiction.
For readers of classic detective fiction and fans of mysteries set in the Victorian era.
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.
