The Woman in White
A drawing master encounters a mysterious, distressed woman dressed entirely in white on a moonlit road, pulling him into a sinister conspiracy. Identities blur as a wicked plot to steal an inheritance relies on the uncanny resemblance between two women. It is a founding text of the sensation novel, ripe with secrets, asylum plots, and villainy.
