Book: The Red Thumb Mark R. Austin Freeman was an early 20th century British writer of detective stories. Dr Thorndyke was a medical/legal forensic investigator. Freeman first used the inverted detective plot in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, usually including the identity of the perpetrator, with the story then describing the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. Many of these stories include arcane scientific knowledge on such topics as tropical medicine, toxicology and metallurgy. The Red Thumb Mark, written in 1907, is the first of the Dr Throndkye novels.
