About this book

A young doctor out for a country walk stumbles on the drowned body of Julius D'Arblay, a modeler of wax figures, in a lonely pond. What looks at first like misadventure soon carries the mark of murder, and Stephen Gray finds himself drawn to the dead man's daughter and to the patient investigator Dr. Thorndyke. Freeman builds the case the way he always did, through close observation, laboratory work, and reasoning the reader can follow step by step. The scientific detail is real rather than decoration, and the plot turns on skills of forgery and craftsmanship. Anyone who enjoys a fair, methodical puzzle will find this one satisfying.
