Martin Hewitt, Investigator is a collection of short stories written by Arthur Morrison, first published in 1894. The book follows the adventures of Martin Hewitt, a private detective in Victorian London. Hewitt is a clever and resourceful detective who solves cases using his intelligence and deductive reasoning. The stories are narrated by his friend and assistant, Brett, who accompanies Hewitt on his investigations. The cases range from thefts to murders, and Hewitt’s methods often involve disguises, undercover work, and careful observation. The book is notable for its realistic portrayal of Victorian London and its characters, as well as its focus on the human element of crime. Overall, Martin Hewitt, Investigator is a classic work of detective fiction that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of crime-solving in the late 19th century.''Rather! What do you think? Got any price I liked. Been saving him up for this. Why, he’s got twenty-one yards, and he can do even time all the way! Fact! Why, he could win runnin’ back’ards. He won his heat on Monday like--like--like that!'' The gaffer snapped his fingers, in default of a better illustration, and went on. ''He might ha’ took it a little easier, I think; it’s shortened his price, of course, him jumpin’ in by two yards. But you can get decent odds now, if you go about it right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
