Wilkie Collins was one of Victorian England's best-loved and best-selling authors, and a crime-fiction pioneer. His enthralling 'sensation novels' such as The Woman in White paved the way for today's thrillers and his tour de force The Moonstone is one of the first, and greatest, modern-detective stories. This collection features dramatisations of these two masterpieces, with star casts including Toby Stephens (The Woman in White) and John Sharp (The Moonstone). Also included are adaptations of three of Collins' other major novels.

Colin Cavendish doesn't get the 21st century. Arguably born a hundred years after his time, he is an old-fashioned, rigid, pedantic man who relishes his well-ordered life selling theatrical memorabilia from his tiny London shop. But a chance encounter with a mysterious woman plunges him into a dangerous word of murder, espionage, and double-dealing. Drugged and kidnapped, he wakes up in a coffin somewhere in Italy, in possession of some earth-shattering information. So begins a deadly chase as he is pursued across Europe in his efforts to make it safely back to London.
