Synopsis
Like his contemporary Sherlock Holmes, the extremely popular detective Martin Hewitt entertained readers of The Strand and other major magazines. These nine stories starring the Victorian sleuth feature a rash of jewel robberies, the disappearance of gold bullion from the hold of a sinking ship, a suicide that might have been a murder, and other intriguing cases. Novel and imaginative, these vintage mysteries retain their charm and fascination.

About the Author
English author and journalist Arthur Morrison (1863–1945) is best known for his novels Tales of Mean Streets and A Child of the Jago. Like many of his other stories, their setting is London's East End and their theme is the struggle of life amid urban blight. His fictional detective Martin Hewitt has been characterized as a realistic lower-class version of Sherlock Holmes.
