The Thinking Machine

For fans of Sherlock Holmes.

When Professor Van Dusen sits back in his chair…when he turns his head upwards and squints through his spectacles…when he presses his fingers together tip to tip…it means that the Thinking Machine, as he has come to be known, is applying his impeccable logic to another baffling case.

And no one – no one ever manages to escape it.
