Opis produktu:

In this novel, Dr. Thorndyke builds a card house of wild speculations to solve a perplexing murder case, astonishing all observers, including the police. The victim is Julius D`Arblay, an artist highly skilled at the rare French art of making wax-work figures and portrait masks. D`Arblay has a beautiful daughter, which leads to a romance with a young Dr. Grey who discovers the father`s body and brings the case to Dr. Thorndyke`s attention. Before the end of the story, the young doctor and his love will each have survived two murder attempts by an increasingly frantic killer. There are lots of great scenes: stalking scenes, vicious attacks on Dr. Gray and Marion with various weapons, a sinister scene in a dense yellow London fog, a humorous exhumation of a dead man of dubious identity, and very funny vignettes with a tippler of an old doctor advising Gray on how to handle troublesome patients. Thorndyke`s lovable lab assistant Polton has a starring role in this novel.
