Sobre aquest llibre
"The Riddle of the Night" by Thomas W. Hanshew is a gripping mystery that blends intrigue, suspense, and a touch of the theatrical, once again showcasing the brilliant mind of Hamilton Cleek—a former criminal genius who now uses his extraordinary talents to serve justice as a detective for Scotland Yard. In this installment, Cleek finds himself entangled in a perplexing case that involves a series of strange clues, hidden motives, and unexpected dangers, all cloaked in the shadows of the night. With his uncanny ability to disguise himself and see through deception, Cleek navigates a world of aristocratic secrets and dark schemes, revealing not only the truths behind the crimes but also more of his own complex inner world. Hanshew crafts the story with sharp pacing and layered puzzles, making it more than just a detective story—it's also a meditation on identity, redemption, and the line between appearance and reality. For modern readers, Cleek's intelligence, moral tension, and quiet charisma offer a refreshing alternative to more formulaic sleuths, while the story's elegant twists keep the pages turning. Ideal for fans of classic detective fiction, gothic-tinged mysteries, and readers who enjoy a cerebral hero with a mysterious past and a heart striving toward redemption.
Sobre l'autor
Thomas W. Hanshew, an American actor-turned-writer born in the mid-19th century, carved out a distinctive niche in popular fiction with his creation of the master detective Hamilton Cleek, a former criminal who turns his genius toward solving intricate mysteries in service of the law. Drawing from his theatrical background and transatlantic experiences—having worked in both the U.S. and England—Hanshew brought a vivid sense of drama and character to his storytelling, blending Victorian sensibilities with a touch of early modern psychological insight. His detective tales often explored themes of redemption, duality, and the battle between identity and morality, issues that still speak to readers today grappling with questions of personal reinvention and justice. At a time when the world was shifting into the complexities of the 20th century, Hanshew's stories offered both thrilling escapism and a comforting belief in the triumph of intellect and virtue. His legacy lives on in the enduring appeal of detective fiction, and his work continues to intrigue fans of classic mystery and those fascinated by characters who walk the line between darkness and light. Readers who enjoy vintage crime stories with sharp plots, theatrical flair, and a hint of moral ambiguity will find Hanshew's work both entertaining and thought-provoking.
