Where Highways Cross is a novel written by Joseph Smith Fletcher and first published in 1895. The story is set in the fictional town of Marketstoke, which is located at the crossroads of two major highways in England. The plot revolves around the mysterious death of a wealthy businessman named John Harston, who is found dead in his office with a gunshot wound to the head. The police suspect suicide, but Harston's niece, Edith, is convinced that he was murdered. She enlists the help of a local journalist, Frank Spurr, to investigate the case. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a web of deceit and betrayal that leads them to suspect several members of the town's elite. The novel is a classic whodunit, with plenty of twists and turns to keep the reader guessing until the very end. It also explores themes of class, power, and corruption in Victorian England.
