Synopsis

Fergusson Wright Hume, known as Fergus Hume (1859 – 1932) was a prolific English novelist producing more than 100 novels and short stories. Finding that the novels of Émile Gaboriau were then very popular, he obtained and read a set of them and determined to write a novel of a similar kind. The result was the self-published novel The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886), which became a great success. Hume based his descriptions of poor urban life on his knowledge of Little Bourke Street. It eventually became the best selling mystery novel of the Victorian era. This novel inspired Arthur Conan Doyle to write A Study in Scarlet. In this book: The Mystery of a Hansom Cab The Opal Serpent The Pagan's Cup The Secret Passage The Green Mummy The Solitary Farm
