Opis

Martin Hewitt is an ex lawyer's assistant who eventually found his inclination better suited to crime investigation. He is a low-key, realistic, lower class answer to Sherlock Holmes, though his cases are just as weird and mysterious as Holmes's. Martin Hewitt stories are similar in style to those of Arthur Conan Doyle, cleverly plotted and very amusing, while the character himself is a bit less arrogant and a bit more charming than Holmes. Arthur Morrison (1863-1945) was an English writer and journalist known for his realistic novels and stories about working-class life in London's East End, and for his detective stories, featuring Martin Hewitt and Horace Dorrington.
