Richard Austin Freeman was a British author known for pioneering the forensic detective genre. Born to Richard Freeman and Ann Maria Dunn, he began his professional life in medicine before transitioning into writing. His background in science and law informed his fiction, particularly through his creation of the character Dr. John Thorndyke, a medico-legal expert. Freeman's major innovation was the inverted detective story, where the crime and perpetrator are revealed at the beginning, and the narrative follows the detective's reasoning to solve it. This structure emphasized methodical investigation over suspense, distinguishing his work from many contemporaries. Throughout his career, Freeman wrote prolifically, producing numerous novels and short stories that combined legal knowledge with criminal psychology. His works frequently explored the logic of detection, scientific accuracy, and ethical dilemmas, often reflecting his belief in rational inquiry. Despite changing literary trends, Freeman's detailed plotting and unique approach to crime storytelling garnered lasting respect within the mystery genre. His fiction remains notable for its clarity, structure, and the rigorous intellectual standards of his protagonist. Freeman died in 1943, having left a significant legacy in detective literature.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. The shadow of the wolf unfolds against a maritime setting, where a complex scheme involving forged currency sets two men on a collision course of deceit and desperation. As they sail aboard a private yacht, initial conversations reveal more than just casual reflections they expose the unstable foundation of a criminal partnership. The opening introduces a world where trust erodes quickly, and personal entanglements deepen existing rifts. Both men share a connection to a woman whose presence intensifies underlying tensions. What begins as subtle hostility transforms into overt suspicion, as one man begins to question the other's motives and loyalty. The closed environment of the yacht enhances the sense of isolation and psychological pressure, underscoring the precarious balance between complicity and self-preservation. As the characters circle around each other with guarded words and escalating thoughts of betrayal, the narrative draws readers into a shadowed space where loyalty is a commodity and truth is dangerous. The early chapters set a tone of growing unease, not only through external conflict but also through the internal dilemmas each man must face while navigating the uncertain waters of their choices. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9789371814706
