Synopses

Pontifex, Son, and Thorndyke

Jasper Gray’s ordinary routine is disrupted by a chain of curious incidents, while Dr. Thorndyke is asked to advise on an unusual suicide that appears unconnected. As the two strands converge, the consequences reshape Jasper’s life.

When Rogues Fall Out

A dispute involving thieves and a policeman ends in murder, drawing Thorndyke, Jervis and Polton into the official investigation. Their work also leads them towards a house with an unsettling mystery at its centre.

Dr. Thorndyke Intervenes

A grim discovery at a train station revives an old case with present-day repercussions. The enquiry ranges from an ancient crypt to old British mines, before the matter turns towards a restored inheritance.

Series background

The source notes Dr. John Thorndyke as a London consulting detective who applies scientific methods to criminal investigation, often assisted by Dr. Christopher Jervis. The Thorndyke stories span 1905 to 1942 across twenty-one novels and more than forty short stories, and are presented here in an omnibus format intended for modern readers.
