<DIV><B>A dozen astonishing mysteries from the case files of scientific detective Craig Kennedy</B><BR /><BR /> Whenever the New York City police department encounters a mystery so strange it seems impossible to solve, they head to Columbia University in search of Professor Craig Kennedy. When he&rsquo;s not lecturing students on the science of chemistry, Kennedy uses his superlative intellect and his facility with the latest technological advancements to capture the city&rsquo;s most diabolical villains. In &ldquo;The Confidence King,&rdquo; he matches wits with a thief whose counterfeiting skills extend from paper currency to fingerprints. In &ldquo;The Firebug,&rdquo; Kennedy stops an arson epidemic by means of sophisticated handwriting analysis. And in the title story, the surprise antidote to a case of cyanide poisoning turns out to be as dangerous as it is effective.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> First appearing in the pages of <I>Cosmpolitan </I>magazine, scientific detective Craig Kennedy was so popular during the early twentieth century that he became known as the &ldquo;American Sherlock Holmes.&rdquo;<BR /> &#160;<BR /> This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.</DIV>
