The Penrose Mystery by R. Austin Freeman Pdf

"The Penrose Mystery" is one of the best stories of the wonderful Dr. Thorndyke series. Penrose is an eccentric old man owing some dazzling gems, which he doesn't insure. When Dr. Thorndyke is alerted to a burglary at his house, a scrap of paper is found with the word "lobster" on it, along with two Latin words. Yet, there is something more: Penrose has fled in panic after a car accident. The police believe he's gone into hiding to avoid a manslaughter charge after a hit-and-run accident. Dr. Thorndyke has to solve the robbery and missing. So, as usual, he starts the investigation from the merest bits of dirt inside a tire or scraps in a pocket in his unexpected and brilliant manner.

The Penrose Mystery by R. Austin Freeman Pdf

Richard Austin Freeman (11 April 1862 - 28 September 1943) was a British writer of detective stories, mostly featuring the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke. He claimed to have 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). Freeman used some of his early experiences as a colonial surgeon in his novels.
