The pioneering creator of the inverted detective story, R. Austin Freeman was a popular Edwardian author of novels and short stories featuring Dr. Thorndyke, a pathologist-detective. Well-liked by readers of Sherlock Holmes, Freeman's detective and mystery tales offered an innovative approach to the genre, selling thousands of copies on both sides of the Atlantic. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Freeman's collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
