A fascinating installment in R. Austin Freeman's classic mystery series featuring forensic detective Dr. John Thorndyke

A man falls gravely ill, but is reluctant to call a doctor. As his condition worsens, he is eventually forced to seek medical aid -- but he does so only under the condition that the physician does not learn his identity or address. Dr. Jervis is therefore transported to the man's home in a 4-wheeled cab with tightly closed shutters. When he arrives, the doctor finds that the patient -- who has been introduced with a pseudonym -- exhibits all of the signs of morphine poisoning. But the sick man's caretaker assures Jervis that this is outside the realm of possibility. Knowing neither the patient's real name nor where he lives, Jervis feels both helpless and puzzled, so he consults his friend Dr. John Thorndyke. Versed in the nuances of medicine and law, Thorndyke is the only person who can solve this cryptic case.

The Mystery of 31 New Inn is the 4th book in the Dr. Thorndyke Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
