About this book
Narrated by a young woman drawn into a web of financial ruin, secret marriage, and suspicious death, this mystery brings in the brilliant medico-legal detective Dr. John Thorndyke to sift the scientific evidence and expose the truth. Freeman, who pioneered the 'inverted' detective story and forensic crime fiction, grounds his puzzles in real science and meticulous reasoning. Elegant and ingenious, the novel rewards readers who love a fair, logically constructed mystery. A fine example of Golden Age detection from a writer whose careful, scientific method influenced generations of crime writers.
