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

of intriguing detective stories to enjoy-Constance Dunlap and Guy

Kennedy does not make a personal appearance in these titles, but

enthusiasts can puzzle over many a dastardly crime and, of course,
an equal number of brilliantly deduced solutions.
Peter Brent sat nervously smoking in the library of his great
house, Brent Rock. He was a man of about forty-five or-six-a
typical, shrewd business man. Something, however, was evidently on
his mind, for, though he tried to conceal it, he lacked the
self-assurance that was habitually his before the world. A scowl
clouded his face as the door of the library was flung open and he
heard voices in the hall. A tall, spare, long-haired man forced his
way in, crushing his soft black hat in his hands.

Camera! Kennedy and I had been hastily summoned from his laboratory
in the city by District-Attorney Mackay, and now stood in the
luxurious, ornate library in the country home of Emery Phelps, the
banker, at Tarrytown. "Camera!-you know the call when the director
is ready to shoot a scene of a picture?-well-at the moment it was
given and the first and second camera men began to grind-she
crumpled-sank to the floor-unconscious!"
Jameson, here's a story I wish you'd follow up, remarked the
managing editor of the Star to me one evening after I had turned in
an assignment of the late afternoon.
There's something weird and mysterious about the robbery, Kennedy.
They took the very thing I treasure most of all, an ancient
Peruvian dagger. Professor Allan Norton was very much excited as he
dropped into Craig's laboratory early that forenoon. Norton, I may
say, was one of the younger members of the faculty, like Kennedy.
Already, however, he had made for himself a place as one of the
foremost of South American explorers and archaeologists. "How they
got into the South American section of the Museum, though, I don't
understand," he hurried on. "But, once in, that they should take
the most valuable relic I brought back with me on this last
expedition, I think certainly shows that it was a robbery with a
deep-laid, premeditated purpose." "Nothing else is gone?" queried
Kennedy.
"A collection that might have been called CSI: 1912."-Kirkus
Reviews The seventh book in the esteemed Library of Congress Crime
Classics, an exciting new classic mystery series created in
exclusive partnership with the Library of Congress. This short
story collection features twelve tales of intrigue and suspense,
starring Craig Kennedy, the "American Sherlock Holmes." New York
City, early 1900s. Craig Kennedy, a university professor who uses
science to help catch criminals, investigates crimes in and around
NYC boroughs featuring deaths by apparent-but-inexplicable means.
These highly imaginative crimes include spontaneous combustion and
vengeful spirits, along with less fatal crimes involving
kidnapping, safe-cracking, and a missing fortune in diamonds. With
his impressive knowledge, friend Walter Jameson (his own Watson!),
and use of cutting-edge technology of the day, Kennedy cracks each
case using unorthodox yet entertaining means. Arthur B. Reeve's
Craig Kennedy stories were so popular in his time that he went on
to publish twenty-six books featuring the professor, who also
appeared in comic strips and a number of films. Readers of classic
crime fiction will delight in this collection of twelve short
stories. Fans of Sherlock Holmes will especially appreciate
Kennedy's insistence on logic and science over brawn.
You are aware, I suppose, Marshall, that there have been
considerably over a million dollars' worth of automobiles stolen in
this city during the past few months? asked Guy Garrick one night
when I had dropped into his office. "I wasn't aware of the exact
extent of the thefts, though of course I knew of their existence,"
I replied. "What's the matter?"
There was something of the look of the hunted animal brought to bay
at last in Carlton Dunlap's face as he let himself into his
apartment late one night toward the close of the year. On his
breath was the lingering odor of whisky, yet in his eye and hand
none of the effects. He entered quietly, although there was no
apparent reason for such excessive caution. Then he locked the door
with the utmost care, although there was no apparent reason for
caution about that, either. Even when he had thus barricaded
himself, he paused to listen with all the elemental fear of the
cave man who dreaded the footsteps of his pursuers. In the dim
light of the studio apartment he looked anxiously for the figure of
his wife. Constance was not there, as she had been on other nights,
uneasily awaiting his return. What was the matter? His hand shook a
trifle now as he turned the knob of the bedroom door and pushed it
softly open.
