Opis

-This classic mystery is revitalized with more than 20 pictures to highlight and enhance the readers experience. Dr. John Thorndyke is a British forensic investigator who gets involved in the disappearance of a man named Bellingham. This puzzling case involves a doctor, a pretty lady, and Egyptian antiquities.

At the same time, he writes about forensics and criminal law in a thoroughly modern fashion. Just as Dr. Thorndyke was a scientific detective, Freeman was a scientific novelist.
