• TRILOGY - Three of British-Australian author Fergus Hume's mysteries are in this Kindle book: The Crowned Skull & The Silent House & The Mystery of a Hansom Cab
The Crowned Skull
A classic murder mystery involving the occult. Sir Hannibal Trevick, a widower, and his ex-business colleague were involved in dark dealings involving Africa’s diamond trade and their nefarious deeds may have come back to haunt them.
The Silent House
London barrister Lucian Denzil had a rather dull life, sharing an office with a friend who was equally poor but that was all about to change when he became embroiled in a strange mystery.
The Mystery of a Hansom Cab (1886)
A body is discovered in a hansom cab in this thriller set in Australia. When it was first published the book outsold Sir Arthur Conan Dolye's Sherlock Holmes book "A Study in Scarlet".
