About the author
R. Austin (Richard Austin) Freeman
1862–1943
A doctor turned mystery writer, he helped shape modern detective fiction with stories that cared as much about evidence as suspense. His Dr. Thorndyke tales are especially known for bringing careful forensic thinking into the heart of the puzzle.
