The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is a classic mystery novel written by Fergus Hume. The story is set in Melbourne, Australia, in the late 19th century and revolves around the murder of a wealthy businessman named Oliver Whyte. The body of Whyte is found in a hansom cab, and the driver of the cab is nowhere to be found. The investigation into the murder is led by Detective Gorby, who is determined to solve the case. The plot is full of twists and turns, and the reader is kept guessing until the very end. The novel is considered to be one of the first detective novels ever written, and it has been adapted into several films and plays. Hume's writing style is engaging and descriptive, and he does an excellent job of creating a vivid picture of Melbourne in the late 19th century. Overall, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is a must-read for fans of classic mystery novels and anyone who enjoys a good whodunit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
