About the author

R. Austin (Richard Austin) Freeman

1862–1943

A physician turned mystery writer, he helped shape modern detective fiction with Dr. John Thorndyke, one of the earliest great forensic investigators. His stories stand out for their calm logic, scientific detail, and clever "how was it proved?" approach to suspense.
