Collins's ability to construct a gripping situation and to create an atmosphere of mystery and menace is fully evident in the three novellas reprinted here. All proceed through a series of dramatic scenes to a climax that in one case at least is literally explosive. Varied in setting and tone, these stories demonstrate Collins's plot-making skill at its most succinct and intricate. This is the only one-volume edition to contain all three novellas and the only edition to provide critical apparatus.
