Über den Autor
R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a colonial surgeon and British writer of detective stories. Deemed the father of the scientific detective story,” he is also credited with the invention of the inverted detective story, in which the crime is first described and then followed by the attempts to solve it. The popularity of Freeman's most beloved character, the medico-legal forensic investigator Dr. Thorndyke, who features in more than twenty-five stories, has affirmed his place among the finest of crime writers today. He died in Gravesend, United Kingdom.
