"Tracked by a Tattoo: A Mystery" by Fergus Hume is a detective novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the character of Mr. Fanks, a detective from Scotland Yard, who leads a double life as both a law enforcer and a socialite. The narrative begins with the shocking murder of a gentleman named Sir Gregory Fellenger in a notorious area of London known for crime, setting off a chain of investigations that promise intrigue and dark secrets linked to the victim's mysterious past. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Mr. Fanks, learns of the murder and promptly hurries to the scene of the crime, where he interacts with various characters, including a suspicious landlady and a nervous doctor. Fanks uncovers that the victim had been poisoned and discovers a tattoo on the deceased's arm, which connects to a series of cryptic messages hinting at a deeper conspiracy. The initial chapters unveil the peculiar circumstances surrounding the murder, hinting at the influence of a woman from the victim's past whose identity and connection to the crime remain shrouded in mystery, propelling Fanks into a complex investigation involving deception, identity, and the secrets hidden beneath society's surface.
