Thomas W. Hanshew

3.57/5 (21 ratings)

Read Now Download Now

In the early part of the 20th century, mysteries featuring Hamilton Cleek by Thomas Hanshew were said to be, "the most consistent and most convincing detective stories since Sherlock Holmes." A face contortionist and former burglar now detective, he appeared in three volumes of short stories between 1914 and 1921.

A body had been found in a locked car on the Brighton line, and there didn't seem to be any way the perpetrator could have exited the scene. Scotland Yard were called with Cleek tagging along. He immediately goes to work to the bewilderment of all.

Librarian's note: many crime and detective stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Fantasy and Horror Classics are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
