Softcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: N/A. A four volume collection of R Austin Freeman crime fiction novels, all featuring his recurring character Dr Thorndyke. Uniformly bound in laminated stiff card covers. 8vo. All four volumes are neat, clean, bright and tight throughout. Richard Austin Freeman (1862- 1943) was an English crime- writer. His claim to have invented the crime fiction genre known as ?inverted? detective stories ? where the commission of the crime, and usually the identity of the perpetrator, is revealed at the beginning, with the plot then focussing on how the detective gets his man ? has some substance but is not uncontested. He was prolific, popular and wielded much influence over the crime genre, dominating scientific detective fiction for a good part of the early 20th century. His novels continue to be read by a diminished but loyal audience and have been translated onto stage, screen and radio many times. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Volume VIII contains the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth full-length Thorndyke adventures, published in 1934, 1936, and 1937, respectively. For the Defense: Dr. Thorndyke - Andrew Barton dreaded meeting up with his identical cousin that he usually tried to avoid. Then Death joined them, and Andrew found himself in an unbelievable spiral of events that would rip him away from the life he loved forever. His only hope is if Dr. Thorndyke believes his impossible story! The Penrose Mystery - The eccentric collector had vanished, leaving a locked room possibly full of valuables, and legal questions regarding what to do next. Thorndyke's involvement leads to even more puzzles, and the tragic excavation at an Ancient British Barrow.
