Meanwhile, a cast of colorful characters, including lawyers, doctors, and detectives, become involved in the case, leading to a dramatic conclusion. ""Man and Wife"" is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and justice, and is considered one of Collins' most accomplished works.In three months from the memorable day when his solicitor had informed him that he was a free man, Mr. Vanborough possessed the wife he desired, to grace the head of his table and to push his fortunes in the world--the Legislature of Great Britain being the humble servant of his treachery, and the respectable accomplice of his crime.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
