The Corbin necklace

A stolen heirloom. A family's secret. A pursuit that will test every loyalty. In The Corbin Necklace, Henry Kitchell Webster spins a taut, atmospheric tale of greed, deception, and the lengths people will go to protect what they love. When the famed Corbin necklace vanishes under mysterious circumstances, a chain of suspicion, intrigue, and unexpected alliances unfolds against the richly drawn backdrop of early twentieth-century America. Webster — a master of the page-turner long before the term existed — keeps the reader guessing until the final, satisfying turn. This edition presents the COMPLETE, UNABRIDGED original text exactly as it first appeared, accompanied by a new introduction that places the novel in its literary and historical context, along with reader's notes to enrich your journey through the story. Whether you are a longtime admirer of classic American fiction or discovering Webster for the first time, this volume belongs on your shelf. Part of The Founding Texts Library.
