From the prolific pen of John Oxenham (the pseudonym of William Arthur Dunkerley), a popular Edwardian novelist and adventurer, comes a thrilling piece of speculative fiction that utilizes the burgeoning, sprawling infrastructure of the capital.A Mystery of the Underground is set in the claustrophobic world of the early London Tube system. Published during a period of massive expansion in the Underground network, the novel taps into the era’s fascination with urban secrets and subterranean exploration. The story follows a compelling mystery connected to the dark, labyrinthine tunnels far below the streets of London, where a secret--either fantastical, scientific, or horrifyingly criminal--is concealed. Oxenham expertly combines the familiar setting of the city’s transport system with a gripping atmosphere of claustrophobic suspense and discovery.This is a must-read for fans of Edwardian mystery, early urban fantasy, and classic subterranean adventure tales that exploit the dark, hidden depths of the industrial age.
