Mystery Of A Hansom Cab

Description

Murder on the move

An unidentified man gets into a cab, which immediately sets off toward its destination. When it arrives, however, the cab driver discovers the man to be dead. With nothing to identify the victim, and nothing to hint at who killed him or why, the mystery seems unsolvable.

The man has a strange note in his pocket and two rival detectives Gorby and Kislip compete to solve the mystery. But can they… when they don’t even know who the victim is?

First published in 1886, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab was an overnight sensation, selling hundreds of thousands of copies around the world and being translated into eleven languages.
