The Uttermost Farthing is a mystery novel written by R. Austin Freeman. The story follows the investigation of a murder case by Dr. John Thorndyke, a forensic scientist and lawyer. The victim, a wealthy businessman named Felix Hearne, is found dead in his study with a bullet wound to the head. The prime suspect is the victim's nephew, Ronald, who has a motive for the murder and was seen leaving the house around the time of the crime. However, Thorndyke is not convinced of Ronald's guilt and begins to investigate the case from a scientific perspective. He uses his knowledge of forensic science, including fingerprint analysis and ballistics, to uncover new evidence and challenge the assumptions of the police. As the investigation progresses, Thorndyke uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal among the victim's family and associates, leading to a surprising conclusion. The Uttermost Farthing is a classic mystery novel that combines elements of science and detective work to create a compelling and suspenseful story.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.
