Arthur Morrison 
Red Triangle 
Being Some Further Chronicles of Martin Hewitt, Investigator

This classic collection of mystery stories from Arthur Morrison features top-notch detective Martin Hewitt, whom one critic described as "a low-key, realistic, lower-class answer to Sherlock Holmes." In cases ranging from jewel theft to mistaken identities, Hewitt moves with ease among the working-class neighborhoods of turn-of-the-century England.
