Description

Dr. John Thorndyke is a professor of medicine, but he is also a pathological sleuth with a taste for mysteries that would stop other detectives cold. The disappearance of a successful archaeologist. poses a disturbing riddle to Thorndyke: "When is a murder not a murder?' The answer hinges on the question of whether or not it is possible to fabricate a corpse out of whole cloth. And why would anyone want to, except to disguise a murder?
