Synopsis

Set in London while Sherlock Holmes is still in practice, these early Thorndyke novels introduce Dr. John Thorndyke and his world, while evoking the city and its streets in the late Victorian and early Edwardian period. Across the three books, Thorndyke applies scientific methods to cases that range from a murder accusation seemingly sealed by a bloody thumbprint, to a disappearance that raises questions of time and place, and a night summons to a gravely ill patient that leads into wider suspicions and an unusual death tied to inheritance.

The series follows Thorndyke’s investigations, often alongside his friend Dr. Christopher Jervis, and forms part of a wider programme to publish the complete Dr. Thorndyke sequence in omnibus editions.
