“Thorndyke never forgets a likely case. He is sort of a medico-legal camel. He gulps down the raw facts from the newspapers or elsewhere, and then, in his leisure moments, he calmly regurgitates them and has a quiet chew at them.”
The Eye of Osiris is a detective story written by R. Austin Freeman. The author drew on his vast medical and scientific knowledge for his main character, a medico-legal investigator who depends on forensic evidence and logical deduction in solving cases.
