Sinopse

Fergus Hume's "The Ultimate Mystery Collection: 21 Thriller Novels in One Volume" serves as a comprehensive anthology that encapsulates the essence of late 19th-century detective fiction. Hume's literary style is marked by intricate plots, rich characterizations, and a flair for atmospheric settings, with an emphasis on suspense and unraveling mystery. Each story unfolds against a backdrop of Victorian morals and social issues, placing an evocative lens on themes such as justice, morality, and the human condition, which resonate throughout Hume's oeuvre. This collection not only showcases Hume's pioneering contributions to the mystery genre but also highlights the evolution of narrative techniques within the broader context of Victorian literature. Fergus Hume, an influential figure in the mystery genre, found early inspiration in his experiences as a legal clerk and his fascination with the darker facets of human behavior. Born in 1859 in England and later emigrating to Australia, Hume's diverse background shaped his narrative style and thematic preoccupations. His early success with "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab" catapulted him to fame, and he continued to explore the intricacies of crime, psychology, and societal norms in his work, cementing his legacy as a cornerstone of detective fiction. This collection is a must-read for enthusiasts of mystery and crime fiction, as it not only preserves the intricacies of Hume's storytelling but also invites modern readers to engage with the origins of the genre. With mesmerizing twists and revelatory insights into human nature, Hume's tales provide a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era while continuing to resonate with contemporary audiences.

Holmes quickly solves the mystery, locating Hatty at a hotel with a mysterious, "common-looking" man who had picked up her dropped bouquet after the ceremony. The man turns out to be Hatty's husband Frank, whom she had thought dead in America, and who had managed to locate her only moments before she was to marry Lord St. Simon. Frank and Hatty had just determined to go to Lord St. Simon in order to explain the situation when Holmes found them.

    For DCI Gillard, sometimes old sins cast long shadows… 
    Under a motorway flyover lies the body of a young man. Days earlier, he had been involved in an altercation with DCI Craig Gillard’s pregnant partner Sam. Now he’s dead...
