Undisputed master of “sensation fiction” and forefather of the modern crime story, Wilkie Collins was also a supreme chronicler of the dark underside of Victorian London.
When John Zebedee is found killed with a knife in the night, our narrator is sent to investigate. He soon finds that Mrs. Crosscapel's lodging-house is a place of dark secrets and buried passions—emotions that will soon cloud even his own judgement.
'Who Killed Zebedee?' is a brilliant and highly original tale of horror and the macabre.
