Autorenporträt

Fergusson Wright Hume, known as Fergus Hume, was an English novelist famed for his contribution to the mystery and detective fiction genre. Born on July 8, 1859, in England, Hume later moved to New Zealand with his family, where his legal career began. He later shifted to Melbourne, Australia, where his writing career was launched. Hume's foray into literature was marked by his keen interest in the works of Emile Gaboriau and the popularity of detective stories at the time. Frustrated with the quality of mystery novels available, Hume penned his own, 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab', which became a phenomenal success after its publication in 1886, establishing him as a notable writer. Moving beyond his initial success, Hume continued to write prolifically, producing over 130 novels throughout his career. Among these, 'The Crimson Cryptogram', stands as an example of his literary dexterity and ability to weave intricate plots with vivid characters. Hume's literary style is often characterized by his meticulous plotting, attention to detail, and the creation of suspenseful atmospheres. Despite his lesser-known status today, Hume's work was highly influential in his time, pre-dating and perhaps influencing the likes of Arthur Conan Doyle. He passed away on July 12, 1932, leaving behind a legacy as a foundational figure in the detective fiction genre.
