Synopses

For the Defense: Dr. Thorndyke

Andrew Barton has long avoided an encounter with his identical cousin, but events take a darker turn when death enters the picture. Swept into a chain of developments that threatens to tear him from the life he knows, he is left relying on one thing: whether Dr. Thorndyke will accept a story that seems impossible.

The Penrose Mystery

An eccentric collector disappears, leaving behind a locked room and a tangle of legal uncertainties over what should happen next. Thorndyke’s involvement deepens the mystery, drawing him into further puzzles and a tragic excavation at an ancient British barrow.

Felo de se?

A man is found dead in his chambers, and the circumstances suggest suicide, felo de se, yet the evidence refuses to settle. As the facts fail to align, Thorndyke applies scientific investigation to uncover a crime with an unusually distinctive character.
