The Paliser Case

The Paliser Case is a novel written by Edgar Saltus, first published in 1894. The story revolves around the trial of a woman named Laura Paliser, who is accused of poisoning her husband. The case is complicated by the fact that Laura is a beautiful and charming woman, and the evidence against her is largely circumstantial.The novel is divided into three parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the case. In the first part, we are introduced to Laura and her husband, as well as the various witnesses and characters who will play a role in the trial. The second part covers the trial itself, with Saltus providing a detailed account of the proceedings and the arguments made by both the prosecution and defense. In the final part, the aftermath of the trial is explored, with Saltus delving into the emotional and psychological impact of the case on all those involved.Throughout the novel, Saltus uses his considerable skills as a writer to create a vivid and compelling portrait of the legal system and the people who inhabit it. He explores themes of love, betrayal, and justice, and asks important questions about the nature of truth and the limits of human perception. The result is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that continues to captivate readers more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
