The Big Bow Mystery (1892) is a novel by Israel Zangwill, a writer known for his focus on the Jewish community in London. While he is celebrated for his literary contributions, Zangwill also wrote works of genre fiction. Originally serialized in The Star, The Big Bow Mystery is a satirical take on the locked room mystery that continues to captivate, entertain, and puzzle readers to this day. Having overcome poverty to become an educator and author, Zangwill dedicated his career to advocating for the voiceless, oppressed, and needy, shedding light on their struggles through some of the most powerful novels and stories of the Victorian era.
On a foggy morning in a working-class neighborhood on the East End of London, a landlady rises to light the fire and make a pot of tea. Eventually, Mrs. Drabdump realizes that one of her tenants has overslept and goes upstairs to wake him. Finding his room locked from the inside, she grows concerned and enlists the help of another tenant. Forcing open the door, they discover the man—a prominent activist for workers' rights—dead in his own bed. When the coroner's report reveals that the man was neither murdered nor killed by his own hand, an investigation is launched involving inept policemen, a major politician, and several peculiar characters whose quirks add a darkly humorous tone to an otherwise grim tale of death and urban decay.
Presented in a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Israel Zangwill's The Big Bow Mystery is a classic of British literature reimagined for modern readers.
