Jezebel's Daughter

Jezebel's Daughter is a Victorian-era mystery novel written by Wilkie Collins. The story follows a young man named Lewis Romayne, who is haunted by a dark secret from his past. He seeks solace in the company of a beautiful and mysterious woman named Madame Fontaine, who claims to be a spiritualist and healer. However, as Romayne becomes more and more involved with Madame Fontaine and her daughter, he begins to suspect that they may be involved in a sinister plot to steal his inheritance. With the help of a clever detective, Romayne sets out to uncover the truth and expose the devious schemes of Jezebel's Daughter. The novel is full of twists and turns, and explores themes of deception, betrayal, and the supernatural.After no very long reflection, I decided that my best course would be to severely caution Joseph, and to say nothing to the partners of what had happened--for the present, at least. I should certainly do mischief, by setting the two old friends at variance again on the subject of the widow, if I spoke; to say nothing (as another result) of the likelihood of Joseph's dismissal by Mr. Keller. Actuated by these reasonable considerations, I am bound frankly to add that I must have felt some vague misgivings as well. Otherwise, why did I carefully examine Mr. Keller's room (before I returned to the theater), without any distinct idea of any conceivable discovery that I might make?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
