Summary "Martin Hewitt, Investigator" by Arthur Morrison is a collection of detective stories written in the late 19th century. The stories revolve around Martin Hewitt, a clever private detective known for his keen observational skills and extraordinary faculties, as he tackles various cases ranging from robberies to more complex crimes. The opening narrative introduces us to Hewitt's character and the peculiar circumstances surrounding a series of robberies at a country estate, setting the tone for his investigative adventures. The opening of the book begins with a recounting of a notorious robbery case involving a series of thefts that have taken place at Lenton Croft. We meet Sir James Norris, the owner of the estate, who is desperate to solve the mysterious incidents where valuable jewelry has been stolen under seemingly impossible circumstances, leaving behind only a spent match as a clue. As Hewitt is summoned to investigate, he quickly establishes a comprehensive understanding of the events leading up to the thefts, questioning Sir James about each incident. This chapter sets up an intriguing premise, demonstrating the methodical approach Hewitt takes as he begins to unravel the threads of the case, further entrenching readers in the mysteries that await in this detective series.
