| 520 | _a"The Charing Cross Mystery" by J. S. Fletcher is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Hetherwick, a young barrister, who becomes embroiled in a mysterious case involving the sudden death of an ex-police superintendent, Robert Hannaford, on the last train to Charing Cross. As Hetherwick investigates the circumstances surrounding Hannaford's death, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters and begins to unravel a complex web of secrets, including a mysterious portrait and the question of foul play. At the start of the narrative, Hetherwick catches the last train home and soon finds himself captivated by two men who enter his compartment. One of the men, a burly figure, suddenly suffers a seizure and dies just moments after expressing excitement about an old portrait connected to a woman he once knew. Hetherwick quickly realizes that something is amiss when the other, a sallow-faced man, makes a hurried exit before any help arrives. As the story unfolds, Hetherwick learns that Hannaford was not only involved in a suspicious death but that he was also potentially entangled in a pursuit of a fortune linked to an invention he was developing prior to his demise. In a search for answers, Hetherwick pursues leads that connect Hannaford's past, his granddaughter Rhona, and a captivating but elusive woman from years ago.
