About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 58 full-page plates by James McNeill Whistler, William Powell Frith and Walter Sickert. A woman conceals a crime to protect her father and finds the concealment costs her everything the truth would not have. Freeman was a doctor and created the medico-legal detective Thorndyke; the science in his books was tested at his own bench before it went in. This edition is bound with a gallery of 58 plates of painting, among them night scenes by John Atkinson Grimshaw, Jan Ciągliński and Akseli Gallen-Kallela.
