About the Book

A crime has been committed. A lady without a past was murdered, and no one truly knows who she is or why she was there. As Absolom Gebb, a revered detective of the time, takes on the case, we are introduced to numerous twists and turns in a puzzling, intriguing and downright adventuresome story that will keep you at the edge of your seat. The Lady from Nowhere was originally published at the beginning of the 20th century, and is considered as one of Fergus Hume's best works. Hume has been one of England's most revered writers in the mystery fiction genre, the author having written more than 100 quality novels. Hume's work rests heavily on the element of surprise, the author being able to easily keep the suspense going through his thrilling writing style that will make you want to jump ahead just to know whether or not you can actually guess what happens next. The Lady from Nowhere is a perfect example of how Hume's talent for putting together a puzzling mystery and his attitude towards the unexpected blend in quite majestically to give rise to a work of remarkable quality. The story unfolds gradually, and you will find many of the chapters to introduce surprising twists of events that you wouldn't have been able to guess a few pages ago. Also, Hume's descriptive and engaging writing style is enough to keep the reader captivated throughout the story, as you get the feeling that no word is misplaced and no remark is without its meaning. The book will definitely make you feel like you are actually there, enjoying the suspense of a thrilling adventure with characters that will quickly grow on you. Can you help them solve the mystery of The Lady from Nowhere? The answer may be much more intricate than you can even imagine at first.
