The Stoneware Monkey - First Edition - by R. Austin Freeman

Dr. Thorndyke reasoning from firm peculiarities in the stoneware figure of a monkey, finds in it an aspect common to the two crimes; and he is consequently able to infer that the perpetrator of both is a person not hitherto suspected of either.

For the first twenty-five years of his writing profession, Freeman was to rule and remain unrivalled in the world of detective fiction, introducing the well-loved and highly memorable 'Dr Thorndyke'. The continued success of this character has affirmed Richard Austin Freeman's place amongst the finest of crime writers.
