HUME, Fergus. - The Crimson Cryptogram. A Detective Story.

Title: The Crimson Cryptogram. A Detective Story.
Description: NY, New Amsterdam 1902. Octavo publisher's cloth (spine a bit rubbed). Quite a good copy. ¶ First American edition, the London edition appeared in 1900. Is it an unlikely coincidence that young doctor Ellis happens to be discussing Moxton and his wife the moment his first ever patient rings the bell: Mrs Moxton to announce that her husband has been murdered? Coincidence schmoincidence, such things are beneath notice. Is it any more likely that characters in film and tv still - after years of mockery - always find a parking space right outside their destination?
