Produktbeschreibung
The mystery of Angelina Frood opens with a medical practitioner entering a shadowy web of circumstances after taking over a practice in London. When summoned late at night to attend to a woman with unexplained injuries, he confronts a situation marked by emotional distress and ambiguous violence. A subtle sense of unease permeates his first encounter with the patient, whose identity is obscured under an alias. As details emerge, the narrative reveals troubling connections between her past, her unstable husband, and the psychological toll of sustained abuse. The central figure becomes increasingly entangled in the lives of these individuals, even as he relocates to a quieter setting in search of professional peace. The presence of the same dangerous man reappears, deepening the tension and raising the stakes. Conversations between the practitioner and the woman disclose the gravity of her situation, touching on manipulation, isolation, and dependence. This introduction gradually layers suspense and emotional complexity without relying on conventional mystery tropes. It highlights personal vulnerability and moral responsibility, drawing the reader into a world where menace operates through secrecy and trust is hard-won.
Autorenporträt
Richard Austin Freeman was a British author known for pioneering the forensic detective genre. Born to Richard Freeman and Ann Maria Dunn, he began his professional life in medicine before transitioning into writing. His background in science and law informed his fiction, particularly through his creation of the character Dr. John Thorndyke, a medico-legal expert. Freeman's major innovation was the inverted detective story, where the crime and perpetrator are revealed at the beginning, and the narrative follows the detective's reasoning to solve it. This structure emphasized methodical investigation over suspense, distinguishing his work from many contemporaries. Throughout his career, Freeman wrote prolifically, producing numerous novels and short stories that combined legal knowledge with criminal psychology. His works frequently explored the logic of detection, scientific accuracy, and ethical dilemmas, often reflecting his belief in rational inquiry. Despite changing literary trends, Freeman's detailed plotting and unique approach to crime storytelling garnered lasting respect within the mystery genre. His fiction remains notable for its clarity, structure, and the rigorous intellectual standards of his protagonist. Freeman died in 1943, having left a significant legacy in detective literature.
