About this book

The mysterious disappearance of an eccentric Egyptologist, a disputed will, and a set of baffling clues involving ancient Egyptian artifacts draw the forensic detective Dr. Thorndyke into one of his most ingenious cases. Freeman combines meticulous scientific detection with a fascinating backdrop of Egyptology and a satisfying, logically constructed puzzle. Clever and atmospheric, The Eye of Osiris rewards the attentive reader with fair clues and a brilliant solution grounded in real science. A classic of the Golden Age detective story, it showcases Freeman's mastery of the scientific mystery and the methodical genius of Thorndyke, whose careful reasoning influenced generations of crime writers.
