First published in 1886, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab was a sensation, selling hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide. It has lost none of its page-turning power in the century since.

Set in gold-rich Melbourne in the late nineteenth century, Hansom Cab tells a devilishly tricky tale of murder and intrigue.
