Volume V contains the seventh, eighth, and ninth full-length Thorndyke
adventures, published in 1924, 1925, and 1926, respectively. With each
subsequent narrative, Thorndyke's skills and abilities grown and amaze.
- The Mystery of Angelina Frood - In which a doctor, newly arrived
in Rochester, falls in love with Angelina Frood. When she abruptly
vanishes, only Thorndyke's skills can discover the truth in a most
surprising manner.
- The Shadow of the Wolf - Two men depart on a boat, but only one
returns. What follows is one of the best examples of Thorndyke's
method as he plays a deadly game with the player on the other side.
- The D'Arblay Mystery - A young doctor discovers a body in a pond.
Was it an accident, or suicide, or murder? One thing is certain - the
danger has not ended with just one death.
