Silent Witness

by R. Austin Freeman

In the heart of the night, Dr. Humphrey Jardine stumbles upon a lifeless body during a solitary walk near Hampstead Heath. However, when he returns to the spot with a police officer, the corpse has vanished without a trace. As Jardine delves deeper into the enigma, he finds himself entangled in a web of bizarre and potentially deadly events. Was it truly a cadaver he encountered, or a figment of his imagination? And what is the connection to the enigmatic Mrs. Samway, whose presence seems to linger wherever he goes? Seeking the expertise of the renowned Dr. John Thorndyke, Jardine embarks on a perilous investigation to uncover the truth behind the vanishing corpse.
