Item description from seller

Paperback. During the 1890s, the heyday of Sherlock Holmes, Martin Hewitt ranked among England's most popular fictional detectives. A favorite of readers of The Strand and other magazines, Hewitt returns in this collection of nine of his best cases. Hewitt enters the scene in "The Lenton Croft Robberies," in which he is called upon to solve three successive jewel robberies whose only clues are three half-burnt wooden matches. In "The Case of the Dixon Torpedo," he must figure out how mechanical drawings for a new weapon could have vanished from an office that no one entered or left. In other cases, Hewitt examines the theft of a valuable cameo from a locked desk in a guarded house, the plunder of gold bullion from the hold of a sinking ship, and the disappearance of a will right from under the noses of the dying man's family. The final four stories concern a suicide that may be a murder, a marital case that isn't as simple as it seems, a clue to a treasure in a piece of music, and the robbery of a sacred relic. Novel and imaginative in subject matter, meticulously plotted, and smoothly written, these stories will captivate mystery lovers. AUTHOR: English author and journalist Arthur Morrison (18631945) is best known for his novels Tales of Mean Streets and A Child of the Jago. Like many of his other stories, their setting is London's East End and their theme is the struggle of life amid urban blight. His fictional detective Martin Hewitt has been characterized as a realistic lower-class version of Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock Holmes's contemporary solves nine mysteries that include a rash of jewel robberies, the theft of a sacred relic, a suicide that might have been a murder, and other intriguing cases.
