这些极富想象力的犯罪包括自燃和复仇之灵，以及不那么致命的犯罪，包括绑架、保险箱破解和钻石财富丢失。凭借他令人印象深刻的知识、朋友沃尔特·詹姆森（他自己的沃森！）以及当时的高端技术，肯尼迪用非传统但有趣的方式破解了每一个案件。亚瑟·B·里夫的克雷格·肯尼迪故事在当时非常受欢迎，他后来出版了 26 本以这位教授为主角的书，这位教授还出现在漫画和多部电影中。经典犯罪小说的读者会喜欢这 12 篇短篇小说集。夏洛克·福尔摩斯的粉丝会特别欣赏肯尼迪对逻辑和科学的坚持，而不是武力。

"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.

Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 – August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is known best for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called "The American Sherlock Holmes", and Kennedy's Dr. Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, for 18 detective novels. Reeve is famous mostly for the 82 Craig Kennedy stories, published in Cosmopolitan magazine between 1910 and 1918. These were collected in book form; with the third collection, the short stories were published grouped together as episodic novels. The 12-volume publication Craig Kennedy Stories was released during 1918; it reissued Reeve's books-to-date as a matched set.
