Synopsis

Volume VIII gathers three cases in which Dr. John Thorndyke applies scientific methods to legal and criminal puzzles, continuing a tradition of investigation associated with the rise of the “consulting detective” in London. Across these novels, the questions range from a death that appears to be suicide, to a disappearance that leaves behind a locked room and unresolved legal issues, and a defence that hinges on whether an extraordinary account will be believed.

Presented as part of MX Publishing’s omnibus programme, this collection brings together works that have been difficult to obtain for decades, in a single modern format for readers of classic detective fiction.
