Beschreibung:
In this 1874 novella by Wilkie Collins, the celebrated British writer of sensation fiction tells the tale of two brothers sentenced to be executed for having committed a murder that never occurred, and of the energetic Naomi Colebrooks efforts to ferret out the truth and save the two innocents. As editor Anna Clark observes, Collinss work is both a compelling legal sensation thriller and an important transatlantic commentary on American life. Along with the text itself and an illuminating introduction, Clark provides a range of background materials-including documents from the real-life murder trial that inspired the novella-in order to set the work in its historical context.
