John Thorndyke's Cases

R. Austin Freeman presents eight cases for his ingenious Edwardian scientific investigator Dr. John Thorndyke including: a classic locked-room murder mystery; a race to find a disappeared child; a dead woman discovered on a train; the story of the vengeful ghost of a murdered Chinese mandarin; and the enigmatic Moabite Cypher. As ever Dr. Thorndyke meticulously collects the evidence of footprints dust hairs and fibres and even a single blue sequin to unravel the mystery and see that justice is done.
