The Eye of Osiris (Esprios Classics)
Dr. Richard Austin Freeman MRCS LSA (11 April 1862 - 28 September 1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He invented the inverted detective story (a crime fiction in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery). Roberts said that this invention was Freeman's most noticeable contribution to detective fiction. Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but sometimes arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology.

Percival Bland's Proxy and The Missing Mortgagee
These are two short stories from the collection THE GREAT PORTRAIT MYSTERY: ""PERCIVAL BLAND'S PROXY"" and ""THE MISSING MORTGAGEE,"" wherein the brilliant medical investigator, Dr. Thorndyke, solves murderous crimes. Percival Bland was an uncommon criminal. He knew that his continual passing of counterfeit banknotes would eventually catch up with him, so he had a plan--precautions against the inevitable catastrophe. We can understand why he has created an alternate persona, Robert Lindsay, using disguises and renting two places of residence. No one seems to notice that he and his ""cousin"" Robert never are at their respective homes simultaneously, nor are they at home when the other visits, nor does anyone see the resemblance of their facial appearance under the makeup. But why does he buy human bones at auction?

- 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. Both a medical doctor and an avid researcher, he examined all sorts of material under his microscope, created and tested the devices Dr. Thorndyke used to solve crimes...."
