| 520 | _a"The Lady from Nowhere: A Detective Story" by Fergus Hume is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story begins with a mysterious murder in Grangebury, a suburb of London, where a woman named Maria Presk discovers her lodger, Miss Ligram, dead in her opulent room adorned in yellow. As the police investigate, the tale unfolds, revealing layers of intrigue, deception, and the pursuit of justice. At the start of the narrative, the calm of the night is shattered when screams of "murder" fill the streets, leading the local constable to a disheveled and terrified woman, Maria Presk. She reveals the grisly fate of her lodger, igniting the investigation led by the capable detective Absolom Gebb. As the detectives examine the scene, they uncover an unusual set of circumstances including a pack of cards laid out with the death-card—the ace of spades—visible in Miss Ligram’s lap. The opening chapters delve into the chaotic aftermath of the murder, establishing the mystery surrounding Miss Ligram's life and the secrets of her lavishly furnished "Yellow Boudoir," setting the stage for a complex exploration of her enigmatic past and the pursuit of her killer.
