About this audiobook
The erudite Dr Thorndyke returns in this next anthology of his many and varied cases by R. Austin Freeman. This collection includes the stories:
The Blue Scarab: For what reason was a valueless blue-glass Scarab ornament stolen? Could it have any connection to a lost family legacy?
The Case of the White Footprints: A fellow doctor wishes he had Dr Jervis's life of solving crimes and outwitting malefactors, but soon finds it not to his taste...
The New Jersey Sphinx: The murderous thief has killed before, and he has killed again to steal a priceless ruby. Can Dr Thorndyke track him down?
The Touchstone: It seems unlikely that Thorndyke can recover a missing will, but the smallest of things will prove vital in Thorndyke's investigations.
A Fisher of Men: A man is robbed in his train carriage of his priceless blue diamonds, but how will fishing on the towpath help recover them?
The Stolen Ingots: Four bars of gold have been stolen, can they be recovered? And just when exactly were they stolen?
The Funeral Pyre: A burnt body is found in a burnt hay-rick. Luckily there is plentiful evidence nearby to identify him... but is all as it seems?
Published in 1923 as alternately Dr Thorndykes Casebook in the UK and The Blue Scarab in the states by R.Austin Freeman.
Narrated by Michael Ward.
