Description

Two men of science collaborate to solve a mystifying crime in this thrilling installment in the first mystery series to feature a forensic detective

Late one evening, Dr. Humphrey Jardine is strolling along Millfield Lane in Hampstead Heath, London, when he is shocked to find a corpse lying in the middle of the road. Jardine hurries off to find a police officer, but by the time he returns, the body is gone. Jardine is sure of what he saw, but the cop doubts his story. Taking it upon himself to investigate, Jardine uncovers some puzzling clues. He’ll need the help of Dr. John Thorndyke to solve this bewildering case.
 
A Silent Witness is the 6th book in the Dr. Thorndyke Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
