Synopsis

The Singing Bone is a mystery novel written by R. Austin Freeman. The book follows the story of Dr. John Thorndyke, a forensic scientist and detective, as he tries to solve a complex murder case. The novel is set in London and revolves around a wealthy businessman named Oswald De Gex, who is found dead in his home. The police initially suspect his nephew, but Thorndyke is convinced that there is more to the case than meets the eye. With the help of his assistant, Dr. Jervis, Thorndyke embarks on a journey to unravel the mystery and bring the killer to justice. The Singing Bone is a classic whodunit novel that is filled with twists and turns, and is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.""Wonderful!"" exclaimed Boscovitch, when the case lay open before him, displaying its rows of little re-agent bottles, tiny test-tubes, diminutive spirit-lamp, dwarf microscope and assorted instruments on the same Lilliputian scale; ""it's like a doll's house--everything looks as if it was seen through the wrong end of a telescope. But are these tiny things really efficient? That microscope now----""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
