The Adventures of Dr Thorndyke
By R. Austin Freeman
Narrated by Graham Scott

"[T]he longer I practise, the more I become convinced that the microscope is the sheet-anchor of the medical jurist."

This book contains five tales of intrigue, murder, mutiny, pathos, and romance - including four in Freeman's then revolutionary "inverted detective story" format.
