The Singing Bone: The Adventures of Dr. Thorndyke

A German folk story tells of a peasant who fashioned a flute from the bone of a murdered man but when he tried to play it, it burst into a song identifying the murderer. In this collection of seven cases, that eminent lecturer on medical jurisprudence, Dr. John Thorndyke, makes bones, and blood, fingerprints, and tobacco sing out to proclaim the guilt or innocence of those involved. Using techniques as rigorous as they are scientific, Dr. Thorndyke, the original forensic detective, proves the scourge of the criminals of Edwardian England in... The Singing Bone!

THE CASE OF OSCAR BRODSKI

THE ECHO OF A MUTINY
A WASTREL'S ROMANCE
