Logic will solve any problem; not most of them, but any problem. --The Thinking Machine
Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, with the help of his friend Hutchison Hatch, solves a variety of mysteries using cold, hard logic. No matter how twisted the trail of clues or how clever the perpetrator, Professor Van Dusen, aptly dubbed The Thinking Machine, reminds us that two and two make four, not some times, but all the time. So when a woman begs a surgeon to amputate part of her finger or when a pearl necklace disappears from a woman's neck at a party or when a man presents the court with his perfect alibi, The Thinking Machine methodically investigates all of the (logical) possibilities.
In fact, the author's own wife, May Futrelle, set out to stump her husband's talented detective with an unsolvable mystery of her own, in which a lonely traveler takes a wrong turn and ends up in a mysterious house. Was she successful? Discover for yourself in this original audio compilation produced by Skyboat Media for Blackstone Publishing.
