Sobre l'autor
Fergusson Wright Hume, known professionally as Fergus Hume, was a prolific English novelist renowned primarily for his mystery and detective fiction. Born on July 8, 1859, in England, Hume moved to New Zealand with his family at a young age, where he eventually settled into law practice. His literary aspirations drove him to write, with the belief that he could surpass the popularity of contemporary crime novels. In 1886, Hume self-published his first and most successful work, 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab', which became a bestseller and set the stage for his writing career. Relocating to London due to his newfound literary fame, Hume continued to pen numerous novels, contributing significantly to the detective genre with titles such as 'The Red Window', which showcased his penchant for crafting engaging narratives with intricate plots and a keen attention to detail. His literary style often involved complex storylines, red herrings, and an acute understanding of the legal milieu, questioning societal norms and delving into hidden facets of human behavior. Though Hume's work never quite achieved the heights of his initial success, his influence on the mystery genre endures. He published over 130 novels before his death on July 12, 1932, leaving a vast literary legacy that continues to be studied for its contributions to detective fiction.
