The title, The Moonstone, refers to a brilliantly beautiful but flawed gem seized by a British officer in India. The officer brings it back to England as a family heirloom with a supposed curse placed upon it. The officer leaves the stone to his niece, Rachel Verinder, for her to inherit when she turns 18.
This classic work by Wilkie Collins (1824-2889) is an early example of the modern detective novel that set many of the ground rules of the genre.
