Valeria Valerie Woodville's first act as a married woman is to sign her name incorrectly in the marriage register; this slip is followed by a gradual disclosure of secrets about her husband's earlier life, each of which leads to another set of questions and enigmas. Developing many of the techniques at work in \u003cem\u003eThe Moonstone\u003c\/em\u003e in bizarre and unexpected ways, and employing both Gothic and fantastic elements, \u003cem\u003eThe Law and the Lady\u003c\/em\u003e adds a significant dimension to the history of the detective novel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout the Series: \u003c\/strong\u003eFor over 100 years \u003cstrong\u003eOxford World's Classics \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
