The Mystery Of A Hansom Cab: Fergus Hume

The best selling mystery of the nineteenth century. When a man is found dead in a hansom cab, one of Melbourne’s leading citizens is accused of the murder. He pleads his innocence, yet refuses to give an alibi. It falls to a determined lawyer and an intrepid detective to find the truth, revealing long-kept secrets along the way. Fergus Hume’s first and perhaps most famous mystery. It was made into a film in 2012.
