The final volume in Leonaur's Craig Kennedy series
In Craig Kennedy the American nation might justifiably lay claim to
their own Sherlock Holmes, for here is a detective whose activities
projected him into the modern age. Where Conan Doyle's famous
character of a more gentle era relied on his superb powers of
analysis, Kennedy is able to combine his own intellectual powers
with the technological marvels of a new age. Arthur B. Reeve's
classic 'Craig Kennedy' stories began appearing in 1910, ensuring
him of a place as a dominant crime fighter for the emerging 20th
century. Kennedy is perhaps the natural evolution of the 'great
detective' and the reader cannot but imagine that Holmes would have
embraced his newly created techniques with equal enthusiasm. Here
in two related books the reader will discover the application of
lie detectors, gyroscopes, seismographs and an arsenal of other
equipment, both real and imagined, to the solving of crimes and the
bringing of criminals to justice.
This special Leonaur collection of the 'scientific' detective of
Columbia University comprises seven substantial volumes, each in a
colour coordinated cover. Leonaur hard backs are cloth bound, have
fabric head and tail bands and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines, so this may be the ideal way to collect and own the
marvellous Craig Kennedy detective story series.
In this final volume, the reader will find two more complete books
of intriguing detective stories to enjoy-Constance Dunlap and Guy
Garrick, originally published in 1911 and 1914 respectively,
Kennedy does not make a personal appearance in these titles, but
his methods and technology are used throughout. Within these pages
enthusiasts can puzzle over many a dastardly crime and, of course,
an equal number of brilliantly deduced solutions.
