Sinopse

In "The Red Bicycle," Fergus Hume crafts a gripping narrative steeped in mystery and suspense, exploring themes of deception and human desire. Set against a backdrop of Victorian England, the novel follows the intriguing journey of a young woman entangled in a web of crime and betrayal, sparked by the theft of a crimson bicycle. Hume's prose is characterized by its vivid imagery and meticulous attention to detail, reflecting the socio-political fabric of 19th-century society while unraveling a complex plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. His unique blend of gothic elements with the detective genre showcases an innovative literary style that places him at the forefront of contemporary mystery writers of his time. Fergus Hume, an Australian author, rose to prominence with his previous works, most notably "The Mystery of a Hansom Cab," which reflects his keen understanding of crime and detection. His diverse experiences living in both Australia and England shaped his narrative voice, allowing him to examine societal norms and moral ambiguities in a rapidly changing world. Hume's own fascination with crime and justice propels the thrilling tension of "The Red Bicycle," making it a standout in his oeuvre. This novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate rich, atmospheric storytelling blended with intricate plots and deeply flawed characters. Hume's exploration of human nature, coupled with his skillful construction of suspense, makes "The Red Bicycle" an essential addition to the library of any mystery aficionado.

    I gasp out loud as I step through the door of the beautiful country hotel. My hands fly to my mouth in shock as I see the room is filled with my friends and family, my grown-up daughters and grandchildren at the center, gathered to celebrate my special birthday. 
     
     
     
    Everyone raises their glasses to toast me. I should be enjoying the moment but I'm on edge and I can't relax. Who organized this surprise party? How did they know I was going to be here? 
     
     
     
    Because I didn't come back to Burcott House to drink champagne and dance. Ten years ago, someone was murdered at this hotel. Tonight, after years of heartache, I planned to bury the past once and for all. 
     
     
     
    I look around the crowd of smiling people and my heart thuds as I see the frown on my eldest daughter's face and the way my youngest daughter is smiling widely but her eyes are puffy, like she's been crying. I think about the one person who should be here who isn't . . . 
     
     
     
    My family's secrets and lies swirl around my mind. Can I trust anyone in this room? Can I even trust my own daughters? 
     
     
     
    I was going to finish off what happened all those years ago but did someone else have the same idea? And will I survive my own birthday party?

    When Eliot’s wife pops from the inside out, he’s left with a question no detective, cult leader, or scientist can answer: why her — and why now? As strangers follow the mess to explode without reason, Eliot finds himself caught in a surreal investigation that makes less sense the deeper it goes. The police are baffled. The news is trembling. And somewhere between sleep and waking, love is washing off the blood. 
    Darkly funny, strangely romantic, and unsettlingly familiar, Love Pop is a postmodern, speculative mystery and metaphysical thriller about love, loss, and the quiet apocalypse of meaning. 
    It’s not the end of the world — just the messy part in between.
