Arthur B Reeve Collection Vol 1 The Silent Bullet The Poisoned Pen The Dream Doctor 3 Books

Arthur B. Reeve CollectionVol 1:The Silent Bullet, The Poisoned PenThe Dream Doctor(3 Books)Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 - August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known 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, in 18 detective novels. The bulk of Reeve's fame is based on 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 stitched together into pseudo-novels. The 12-volume Craig Kennedy Stories were released in 1918; it reissued Reeve's books-to-date as a matched set.

There it is, cried Craig scarcely able to restrain himself with the keenness of his chase, "there it is--the mark like an 'L.' This cartridge bears the one mark, distinct, not possible to have been made by any other pistol in the world. None of the Hep Sings, all with the same make of weapons, none of the gunmen in their employ, could duplicate that mark."

"Here is another strange thing. It may or may not be of importance, but it is strange, nevertheless. Before Maitland died they sent for his wife. He was still conscious when she reached the hospital, could recognise her, seemed to want to speak, but could neither talk nor move. It was pathetic. She was grief-stricken, of course. But she did not faint. She is not of the fainting kind. It was what she said that impressed everyone. 'I knew it-I knew it, ' she cried. She had dropped on her knees by the side of the bed. 'I felt it. Only the other night I had the horrible dream. I saw him in a terrific struggle. I could not see what it was-it seemed to be an invisible thing. I ran to him-then the scene shifted. I saw a funeral procession, and in the casket I could see through the wood-his face-oh, it was a warning! It has come true. I feared it, even though I knew it was only a dream. Often I have had the dream of that funeral procession and always I saw the same face, his face. Oh, it is horrible-terrible!'"

The Dream Doctor is a fix-up-in this case "fixed-up" from 12 short stories-of mystery and crime unravelled by the "scientific investigator" Craig Kennedy. Jameson, the Star reporter, and Kennedy's sidekick, is asked to stay with Kennedy for a month and give an insider's report for the Star's readers. As they rush from one case to another, Kennedy finds it even more hectic than he'd bargained for.
