Summary "Chronicles of Martin Hewitt" by Arthur Morrison is a collection of detective stories written in the late 19th century. The book features the character Martin Hewitt, who is a private investigator known for his keen powers of deduction. Through a series of engaging cases, the stories explore the intricacies of crime-solving and the human motivations behind them. The opening of the book introduces readers to the first case, "The Ivy Cottage Mystery." The narrative begins with the protagonist, who is working in the press, becoming intrigued by the murder of an artist named Gavin Kingscote. As the storyline unfolds, we meet Martin Hewitt, the detective, who has been approached by Kingscote's brother to investigate the unsatisfactory police inquiry. The story sets the stage for a suspenseful exploration of the murder scene and its mysterious elements, including potential motives and connections to other characters, that will challenge Hewitt's deductive skills as he seeks the truth behind the murder.
