Fergus Hume, an influential figure in the realm of detective fiction, gained significant acclaim for his innovative storytelling and ability to captivate audiences. Born in 1859 in England, his multicultural background and varied experiences, such as his time in Australia, no doubt informed his exploration of class and dislocation.
