"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.
