The Cat's Eye

The Cat's Eye by R. Austin Freeman is a remarkable detective fiction tale about the elusive yet quick-witted Dr. Thorndyke and his adventures tracking a lost and precious necklace. Excerpt: «I am not a superstitious man. Indeed superstition, which is inseparably bound up with ignorance or disregard of evidence would ill-accord with the silken gown of a King's Counsel.»
