R. Austin Freeman (1862-1943) was a medical practitioner forced to retire in 1904 because of ill health. He wrote many detective novels and short stories, some with other authors.
The Eye of Osiris was 'a Detective Romance.' It was published in England in 1911, and published in the USA as The Vanishing Man. The story is based on the disappearance of an archeologist soon after he returns to England, and the interactions of his family and colleagues.
The text was taken from the University of Adelaide ebook library, and checked against the version on the Internet Archive. I have silently corrected typos, curled quotes, replaced italics, diacritics, and scene breaks, used British English, and made changes to spelling, punctuation, and hyphenation using Cassell's Online Dictionary.
