Thorndyke is a lawyer and medical doctor, and an early practitioner of what today would be called "forensic science". The novels, although fiction, give an excellent picture of how scientific investigations were conducted in the late 19th / early 20th centuries.
Thanks for the suggestion Harry. I hadn't thought of Dr. Thorndyke. And thank you for putting the collections up here at MR.
