Arthur Morrison 
Hole in the Wall [EPUB ebook] 

Though many critics and fans have drawn parallels between the work of Arthur Morrison and Charles Dickens, Morrison’s take on inner-city poverty in turn-of-the-century London is much more bleak, gritty and realistic. The Hole in the Wall introduces an element of mystery, crossing over thematically with the detective stories featuring Martin Hewitt that Morrison also penned.
