Secret Passage

When a woman is murdered in her home with some curious clues left behind, a seasoned detective and curious citizen embark on separate missions to unravel the mystery. Fergusson Wright Hume (8 July 1859 - 12 July 1932) was an English novelist. He was a prolific writer, producing more than 100 novels and short stories in his lifetime. Hume wrote many popular mystery stories and is considered a progenitor of the modern detective genre. Other notable works by this author include: &quote;The Mystery of a Hansom Cab&quote; (1886), &quote;The White Room&quote; (1904), and &quote;The Caretaker&quote; (1915). Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author. First published in 1905.
