This Halcyon Classics ebook THE MYSTERY OF 31 NEW INN features British sleuth Dr. John Thorndyke.
Dr. Thorndyke was a prototypical forensic scientist who used minute bits of evidence to solve his cases. 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. A large proportion of the Dr Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology.
