Inhaltsangabe

This early work by Richard Austin Freeman was originally published in 1914 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. The first story featuring his well-known protagonist Dr. Thorndyke - a medico-legal forensic investigator - was published in 1907, and although Freeman's early works were seen as simple homages to his contemporary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he quickly developed his own style: The 'inverted detective story', in which the identity of the criminal is shown from the beginning, and the story then describes the detective's attempt to solve the mystery.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a British author and physician, best known for creating the character Dr. John Thorndyke, one of literature's first scientific detectives. Born in London, Freeman trained as a doctor and worked in colonial West Africa before returning to England due to health issues. He pioneered the "inverted detective story," where the crime and perpetrator are revealed early, and the focus shifts to the detective's methodical unraveling of the case. His meticulous storytelling, blending medical knowledge and logical deduction, is exemplified in works like The Red Thumb Mark and The Eye of Osiris. Freeman's contributions helped shape modern detective fiction.
