The Red Thumb Mark is a detective novel written by R. Austin Freeman. The story revolves around the murder of a wealthy businessman named John Bellingham. The police arrest his nephew, Richard, who is found at the scene of the crime with a red thumb mark on his hand. However, Richard insists that he is innocent and hires the famous detective, Dr. John Thorndyke, to prove it.Dr. Thorndyke sets out to investigate the case and uncovers a complex web of lies, deceit, and greed. He discovers that there are several other suspects who had motives to kill John Bellingham. The investigation takes a dramatic turn when a second murder takes place, and Dr. Thorndyke realizes that the two crimes are connected.As the investigation progresses, Dr. Thorndyke uses his scientific knowledge and deductive reasoning to solve the case. He examines fingerprints, blood stains, and other pieces of evidence to uncover the truth. In the end, he uncovers the identity of the real killer and proves Richard's innocence.The Red Thumb Mark is a classic detective novel that combines elements of mystery, suspense, and scientific investigation. It is a thrilling read that keeps the reader engaged until the very end.This theory of yours, Jervis, does great credit to your ingenuity. We may disregard the improbability, seeing that the alternative theories are almost equally improbable, and the fact that emerges, and that gratifies me more than I can tell you, is that you are gifted with enough scientific imagination to construct a possible train of events. Indeed, the improbability--combined, of course, with possibility --really adds to the achievement, for the dullest mind can perceive the obvious--as, for instance, the importance of a finger-print.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
