Description

In a richly evoked setting of 1880s Australia, an anonymous passenger in a horse-drawn cab is found dead. When a prominent citizen is accused but refuses to provide an alibi, a lawyer and detective unite to discover the truth. This ingeniously plotted, fast-paced thriller was the bestselling mystery novel of the Victorian era and is reputed to have inspired the creation of Sherlock Holmes.

Author Biography:

English novelist Fergus Hume (1859 - 1932) spent most of his life in New Zealand and Australia, self-publishing The Mystery of a Hansom Cab in 1886. Renowned as the most sensationally popular crime and detective novel of the 19th century, its success prompted Arthur Conan Doyle to assay the genre with A Study in Scarlet, which featured the debut of Sherlock Holmes.
