The Moonstone
Young and beautiful Rachel Verinder (Vivien Heilbron) inherits one of the greatest jewels on earth, The Moonstone, a yellow diamond from India. When it suddenly disappears following her birthday party, the suspects range from the Hindu priests who want to return it to its ancient shrine in India, to Betteredge (Basil Dignam), the Butler, who sees and hears everything in the Verinder household... Widely regarded as the first "true" detective novel, Wilkie Collins' gothic thriller has undergone numerous stage, film, and TV adaptations since its publication in 1868.
