Riassunto

When Arthur Conan Doyle killed off his meal-ticket, Sherlock Holmes in December of 1893, several thousand people cancelled their subscriptions to the Strand Magazine which left a gaping hole that the readers and the magazine desperately wanted to be filled.The story vacuum caused by Holmes' misadventure with Professor Moriarty stayed in effect for ten years, a period of time that gave birth to a number of new fictional detectives, one of which was Martin Hewitt, created by Arthur Morrison in 1894.Hewitt and a group of other crime-solvers had a monopoly on the detective business until Doyle finally relented and brought Sherlock back to life.This book chronicles seven of Hewitt's cases, and gave rise to his reputation as England's 'second-best-detective.'Like the Holmes stories, Morrison did not want the detective to talk about his own cases in the first person, so he created a sidekick who does the writing.
