About this book
The brilliant forensic detective Dr. John Thorndyke applies science, logic, and meticulous observation to a series of baffling crimes, unraveling each mystery through careful reasoning and real medico-legal expertise. R. Austin Freeman, who pioneered the scientific detective story and the 'inverted' mystery, grounds his ingenious puzzles in genuine forensic method, rewarding the attentive reader with fair, satisfying solutions. Elegant and clever, these Thorndyke cases showcase one of detective fiction's most distinctive sleuths. A fine collection from a master of the scientific mystery, The Magic Casket offers the pleasures of intelligent, evidence-based detection in the classic tradition of Golden Age crime writing.
