Fergus Hume (1859-1932) was a prolific English novelist. His self-published novel, "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab", became a great success.

Customer Reviews
Fergus Hume Collection
Worth reading by someone who likes mysteries from the British perspective of the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. There is a significant amount of social commentary and harbinger’s of social change with the introduction of motor cars, some economic theory becoming absorbed by the masses, contrasted with the prevailing beliefs of class roles clearly shared by the author.
