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.
