Synopsis

Volume IX contains the nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first full-length Thorndyke adventures, originally published in 1938, 1940 and 1942. Across these three narratives, Dr Thorndyke’s methods and judgement continue to develop, with each case offering fresh challenges.

The Stoneware Monkey begins with a young doctor’s meeting with a modern sculptor and a troubling corner of the art world; after the sculptor’s death, a curious stoneware monkey becomes central to the investigation. In Mr. Polton Explains, Nathaniel Polton recounts his own past and the skills he acquired before an episode from his youth sheds light on a present-day mystery. The Jacob Street Mystery follows an artist drawn into events after a neighbour disappears, prompting an unexpected revelation.
