The Shadow on the House
Around 1939 the man who published seven novels under the pseudonym, Mark Hansom, wrote this impossible mystery. It is the third book under the Dancing Tuatara imprint to be published by Ramble House.
The Mystery of a Hansom Cab
This early work by Fergus Hume was originally published in 1886 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Mystery of a Hansom Cab' is a tricky tale set in Australia and is Hume's most famous crime novel. Fergusson Wright Hume was born on 8th July 1859 in England, the second son of Dr. James Hume. The family migrated to New Zealand where Fergus was enrolled at Otago Boys' High School, and later continued his legal and literary studies at the University of Otago. Hume returned to England in 1888 where he resided in London for a few years until moving to the Essex countryside. There he published over 100 novels, mainly in the mystery fiction genre, though none had the success of his début work.
The Caretaker
In the year 117 A. D., a man called Speed arrives in the west central part of Scotland. Speed has a mission: to assimilate into the Lomond tribe and unite the local tribes against the Roman Empire. The emission will not be an easy one. He arrives at Loch Lomond, builds a boat, marries a local princess, and establishes a home on the east side of the lake. Speed begins traveling as the Lake Tribe ambassador and visits other settlements, trying to convince their leaders to create a defense force against the encroaching Romans. But the highlanders and the lowlanders are proud, and working together isnt in their blood. It will take every ounce of Speeds diplomatic skills to convince them to join together. Yet the Romans pose a threat to their way of life, and unless they take a stand, they risk losing their land, their culture, and their very identity. The Caretaker is the fi rst in a new series by Richard F. Jarmain, one that combines compelling, vivid details and vibrant characters to create a sprawling historical tale set during the late Iron Agethe start of the reign of Hadrian.
