Excerpt from Mr. Jervis, Vol. 3 of 3 When Mark Jervis came all eagerness to claim his supper dance from Miss Gordon, he saw at once that something was wrong. The merry smile - her greatest charm - he sought in vain upon her face; her expression was grave, almost stern. She was actually looking at him as if he was an absolute stranger. She new! He glanced quickly at her partner, and the mystery was instantly solved. Yes, he recollected the mans goggling blue eyes. Where had he seen him? Where? The cordial accost - "Hallo, Jervis!

Dr. John Thorndyke is a fictional detective in a series of novels. He is a medical jurispractitioner - originally a medical doctor, he turned to the bar and became one of the first, in modern parlance, forensic scientists. 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. It is this method which gave rise to one of Freeman's most ingenious inventions, the inverted detective story, where the criminal act is described first and the interest lies in Thorndyke's subsequent unraveling of it._x000D_ Richard Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels. Many of the Dr. Thorndyke stories involve genuine, but often quite arcane, points of scientific knowledge, from areas such as tropical medicine, metallurgy and toxicology._x000D_ This edition includes: The Red Thumb Mark_x000D_ The Eye of Osiris (The Vanishing Man)_x000D_ The Mystery of 31 New Inn
