Beschreibung

Volume V contains the seventh, eighth, and ninth full-length Thorndyke adventures, published in 1924, 1925, and 1926, respectively. With each subsequent narrative, Thorndyke's skills and abilities grown and amaze. The Mystery of Angelina Frood - In which a doctor, newly arrived in Rochester, falls in love with Angelina Frood. When she abruptly vanishes, only Thorndyke's skills can discover the truth in a most surprising manner. The Shadow of the Wolf - Two men depart on a boat, but only one returns. What follows is one of the best examples of Thorndyke's method as he plays a deadly game with the player on the other side. The D'Arblay Mystery - A young doctor discovers a body in a pond. Was it an accident, or suicide, or murder? One thing is certain - the danger has not ended with just one death.

Autor

Richard Austin Freeman (1862 - 1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He claimed to have invented the inverted detective story (a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery). Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels.
