Fergus Hume was renowned as the bestselling mystery writer of Victorian times after his first book, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, broke all records. In 1901 he returned to form with this ingenious tale, selected to represent Hume’s prolific output by Collins’ Detective Club panel in 1930.
Cicero Gramp was, according to himself, a ‘professor of elocution and eloquence’ – to anyone else he was no more than an engaging and extremely craft vagabond. Hence it was that he found himself awakened from his sleep in the corner of the churchyard, the cheapest available lodging, by men’s voices at an hour past midnight. Two dark figures silhouetted for an instant against the white mausoleum where lay the body of the millionaire Richard Marlow. Then the turning of a key in the iron door of the vault. Silence. Two figures moving back into the night carrying a sinister burden – what Gramp guessed was the body of Marlow. But when a search was made in the vault, Marlow’s coffin was found shut, and not empty: only the body in it was not Marlow’s but that of another man – murdered! And that is only the first puzzle in The Millionaire Mystery . . .

About the Author:
Review:
Fergus Hume was born in England in 1859 and raised in Dunedin, New Zealand. He studied Law at the University of Otago and after graduation relocated to Melbourne, Australia as a barristers' clerk. Inspired by the crime novels of Émile Gaboriau, he wrote the novel The Mystery of a Hansom Cab, set in Melbourne, which became the best-selling mystery novel of the Victorian era. Hume returned to England in 1888, settling eventually in Thundersley in Essex, producing more than 100 novels and short stories. He died in 1932.
‘The most sensationally popular crime and detective novel of the century’ John Sutherland
