The Eye of Osiris is an early example from the Dr.

| Thorndyke series of detective stories written by R.
Austin Freeman, In these stories, the author drew on his
extensive medical and scientific knowledge for his
main character, a medico-legal expert who relies on
forensic evidence and Logical deduction in solving |
cases. In this case, Thorndyke steps in to investigate the —
disappearance of one John Bellingham, an English |
gentleman and amateur Eguptologist, who has vanished

| under very mysterious circumstances. Thorndyle’s

| involvement in the case arises from a both purel |
| professional interest in the unique character of the case,
as well as from the fact that a young doctor and |
T former student of his has recently become closel
acquainted with the missing man’s brother and niece.
