The Singing Bone

The Singing Bone (1912) brings together some of the most ingenious cases of Dr. John Thorndyke, a physician and scientific detective whose remarkable powers of observation enable him to uncover the truth where others see only a collection of unrelated facts. Through thefts, disappearances, concealed identities, and carefully planned crimes, each story reveals how the smallest clue can become the decisive key to solving a mystery.

With precise plotting and a strong interest in forensic science, R. Austin Freeman created a landmark collection in the history of detective fiction. The Singing Bone is particularly notable for developing the inverted detective story, in which the reader witnesses the crime and knows the culprit from the outset.
