Fergus Hume, born Fergusson Wright Hume, on July 8, 1859, in England, was a prolific author touted for his gripping mystery novels. He emigrated to New Zealand with his family in his teens, where he began his career in law. However, literature gripped Hume's imagination, leading him to pen 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' in 1886, initially self-published in Australia and later becoming an international sensation. He moved to London to capitalize on this success and authored over 130 novels, solidifying his position as a master of the mystery genre. Hume's literary style wove intricate plots filled with red herrings and suspense, catering to the public's growing appetite for whodunit tales. His collected works, such as 'The Greatest Works of Fergus Hume - 22 Mystery Novels in One Edition', enshrine his contributions to genre literature. Though his later works never achieved the same fame as his debut, Hume's storytelling techniques influenced the development of mystery writing. He passed away on July 12, 1932, leaving behind a legacy celebrated by enthusiasts of classic detective fiction.
