Richard Austin Freeman (1862–1943) was a British writer, author of detective stories about the forensic medical investigator Dr. Thorndyke, a series of 22 novels and 40 short stories. Freeman claimed that he invented the inverted detective story—a direction in detective fiction where the criminal, unlike in the traditional detective, is known from the very beginning of the narration. The author was a member of the Detective Club from its founding in 1930.
Dr. John Evelyn Thorndyke is a fictional detective by profession (he’s a doctor). He turned to legal practice and became one of the first scientists in forensic medicine. In murder investigations, Thorndyke was often helped by his colleague Christopher Jervis (usually acting as the narrator) and always by the resourceful laboratory assistant Nathaniel Polton. Unlike many other amateur detectives and private investigators, Thorndyke has a good relationship with the police, despite the fact that he proved their investigators wrong in many cases. Outwardly, Thorndyke is tall, athletically built, handsome, and intelligent. He has never been married and has no children.
