The Wrong Box by Robert Louis Stevenson
A darkly comic farce about a convoluted tontine: relatives and hangers-on scheme, deceive and impersonate in pursuit of a windfall, turning petty greed into a series of bungled plots, mistaken identities and a famously misdirected coffin; the chaos spawns robberies, romantic entanglements and near-misses before a lively, ironic resolution that satirizes human folly.
