Synopsis

Set in London while Sherlock Holmes is still in practice, this volume introduces Dr. John Thorndyke and the world he inhabits, with a strong sense of the city in the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. Across these three novels, Thorndyke applies scientific methods to criminal investigation, often alongside his friend Dr. Christopher Jervis, as they confront cases built around disputed evidence, disappearances and suspicious illness.

The collection forms part of a wider return of the Thorndyke stories in omnibus format, bringing together work that has been difficult to obtain for decades. Suitable for readers of classic detective fiction and those interested in early twentieth-century London settings.
