'The Silkworms of Florence' is one of Freeman's novels written under the name Clifford Ashdown. The first story featuring his well-known protagonist Dr. Thorndyke - a medico-legal forensic investigator - was published in 1907, and although Freeman's early works were seen as simple homages to his contemporary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he quickly developed his own style: The 'inverted detective story', in which the identity of the criminal is shown from the beginning, and the story then describes the detective's attempt to solve the mystery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clifford Ashdown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473305934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473305939\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moran Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/14\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.07d","brand":"Clifford Ashdown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088344625407,"sku":"9781473305939","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_96f74c3d-7b2c-4f0b-b4d1-0ac3538d9550.jpg?v=1769104339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-silkworms-of-florence-clifford-ashdown-9781473305939","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
