Dr. Thorndyke Mysteries Collection, Volume Two Dr. Thorndyke Mysteries Collection, Volume Two
R. Austin Freeman

The ongoing adventures of detective John Evelyn Thorndyke, M.D.
Originally a medical doctor, Dr. Thorndyke turned to the bar and became one of the first forensic scientists--referred to as a 'medical jurispractitioner.'
Dr. Thorndyke's solutions were based on the method of collecting all possible data and making inferences from them before looking at any of the protagonists and motives in the crimes.
He is usually assisted by his friend, Christopher Jervis and the resourceful Nathaniel Polton, his crinkly-faced lab technician.
