Inhalt:

The Uttermost Farthing is a mystery novel written by R. Austin Freeman. The story follows the investigation of a murder that takes place in London. The victim is a wealthy businessman who is found dead in his home. The police suspect the victim's secretary, who has gone missing. However, the victim's niece believes that the secretary is innocent and hires a private detective to find the real killer.The detective, Dr. John Thorndyke, uses his scientific knowledge and analytical skills to unravel the mystery. He discovers that the victim was involved in a complex financial scheme that involved several people. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that leads him to the real killer.The novel is set in the early 1900s and provides a glimpse into the social and cultural norms of the time. It also features Freeman's signature style of scientific detection, which he developed as a medical practitioner. The book is a classic example of the golden age of detective fiction and is a must-read for fans of the genre.""After the visit of the detective, I was rather at a loose end. That unknown wretch was still at large. He had to be found and I had to find him since the police could not. But how? That detective had completely upset my plans and, for a time, I could think of no other. Then came the dirty rascal who had tried to murder me in the chalk-pit; and from his mongrel jargon, half cockney, half foreign, I had gathered a vague hint. If I could not entice the criminal population into my domain, how would it be to reconnoiter theirs?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
