Description
Call the doctor who solves crimes!
When a call comes in alerting Fortune that the archduke has been found unconscious on the road, he hurries no more than he would for a regular patient. But as he discovers when he inspects the lord, this is a most irregular case. The archduke lives – but another man has been murdered in his name.
This collection of six puzzling stories beginning with the case above introduced the world to Reggie Fortune, a remarkable detective whose rotund frame conceals a razor-sharp mind. And Fortune will get his man.
This book also introduces the other staples: Detective Lomas of the yard whom Fortune constantly upstages, his superior, Inspector (later Superintendent) Bell, his chauffeur Sam, and the future Mrs. Fortune.
