Krátky popis
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.
