When a woman is murdered in her home with some curious clues left behind, a seasoned detective and curious citizen embark on separate missions to unravel the mystery. Fergusson Wright Hume (8 July 1859 – 12 July 1932) was an English novelist. He was a prolific writer, producing more than 100 novels and short stories in his lifetime. Hume wrote many popular mystery stories and is considered a progenitor of the modern detective genre. Other notable works by this author include: "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab" (1886), "The White Room" (1904), and "The Caretaker" (1915). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. First published in 1905.
