Autorenporträt
Fergus Hume, born Fergusson Wright Hume on July 8, 1859, in England, was an author whose career blossomed in the realm of crime and mystery fiction. He moved to New Zealand with his family in the early 1860s, where he was raised before relocating to Melbourne, Australia, to practice law. However, it was literature where Hume found his true calling. Inspired by the works of Émile Gaboriau and aiming to craft a detective story surpassing the popularity of 'Sherlock Holmes', Hume penned his debut novel, 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' in 1886, which became a resounding success, with over half a million copies sold within a few years. Following this triumph, Hume moved to London to focus solely on writing, producing over 130 novels throughout his career. His style is characterized by intricate plots, attention to legal accuracy, drawn from his background, and a focus on the then-innovative theme of crime detection. Hume's writing influenced the development of the mystery genre, setting a standard for future detective stories. His works, collectively published as 'FERGUS HUME - The Ultimate Mystery Collection: 21 Thriller Novels in One Volume', encompass both his most celebrated pieces and hidden gems, offering a comprehensive look into the evolution of mystery and detective literature. Hume passed away on July 12, 1932, leaving behind a legacy as a pioneer of the genre that continues to captivate readers worldwide.
