About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
A stranger is found murdered in a locked hansom cab rolling through the rain-slicked streets of 1890s Melbourne. A young Irish architect is wrongly arrested for the crime, and only a brilliant barrister, a shrewd detective, and a shadowy trail of old secrets can untangle the truth before an innocent man hangs. Bursting with gaslit atmosphere, class divides, slum intrigue, and a decades-old hidden marriage that threatens to destroy a prominent family, The Mystery of a Hansom Cab is one of the earliest and most successful locked-room detective novels ever written, and the book that put Australian crime fiction on the map.
