Dr Priestley
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dr Priestley is a fictional investigator in a series of books by John Rhode.
After 1924 Priestley took over from Dr Thorndyke as the leading fictional forensic investigator in Britain, and featured in over 50 novels written over 40 years, solving many ingenious and misleading murders, usually at the request of the police. In later books Priestley becomes an armchair detective and the bulk of the legwork is done by Superintendent Jimmy Waghorn of Scotland Yard.
