This carefully crafted ebook: "The Famous Cases of Dr. Thorndyke: 40 of His Criminal Investigations (Illustrated)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents.Dr. John Thorndyke is a medical jurispractitioner - originally a medical doctor, he turned to the bar and became one of the first, in modern parlance, forensic scientists. His solutions were based on his method of collecting all possible data (including dust and pond weed) and making inferences from them before looking at any of the protagonists and motives in the crimes. (Freeman, it is said, conducted all experiments mentioned in the stories himself.) It is this method which gave rise to one of Freeman's most ingenious inventions, the inverted detective story, where the criminal act is described first and the interest lies in Thorndyke's subsequent unraveling of it.Table of Contents:IntroductionMeet Dr. ThorndykeShort StoriesPercival Bland's ProxyThe Missing MortgageeThe Man with the Nailed ShoesThe Stranger's LatchkeyThe Anthropologist at LargeThe Blue SequinThe Moabite CipherThe Mandarin's PearlThe Aluminium DaggerA Message from the Deep SeaThe Case of Oscar BrodskiA Case of PremeditationThe Echo of a MutinyA Wastrel's RomanceThe Old LagThe Case of the White FootprintsThe Blue ScarabThe New Jersey SphinxThe TouchstoneA Fisher of MenThe Stolen IngotsThe Funeral PyreThe Puzzle LockThe Green Check JacketThe Seal of NebuchadnezzarPhyllis Annesley's PerilA Sower of PestilenceRex v.
