"This irascible genius, this diminutive egghead scientist, known to the world as
""The Thinking Machine,"" is no less than the newly rediscovered literary link
between Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe: Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen,
who-with only the power of ratiocination-unravels problems of outrageous
criminous activity in dazzlingly impossible settings. He can escape from the
inescapable death-row ""Cell 13."" He can fathom why the young woman chopped off
her own finger. He can solve the anomaly of the phone that could not speak. These
twenty-three Edwardian-era adventures prove (as The Thinking Machine reiterates)
that ""two and two make four, not sometimes, but all the time."""
