Yet behind each casual observation lies a learned mind, trained in deliberations of logic - preferably amid complicated gadgetry and scientific tomes. The detectives in this collection are masters of scientific deduction, whether they are identifying the perpetrator from a scrap of fabric, or picking out the poison from a sinister line-up. Containing stories by R Austin Freeman, J J Connington and the master of logical reasoning, Arthur Conan Doyle, The Measure of Malice collects tales of rational thinking to prove the power of the human brain over villainous deeds"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Detective and mystery stories, English. 650 0 $a Forensic sciences $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 2 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20220402010217.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20201002012131.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18D0EF205D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
