The Poisoned Pen

1911. One of the Craig Kennedy Series. The book begins: Kennedy’s suitcase was lying open on the bed, and he was literally throwing things into it from his chiffonier, as I entered after a hurried trip uptown from the Star office in response to an urgent message from him. Come, Walter, he cried, hastily stuffing in a package of clean laundry without taking off the wrapping paper, I’ve got your suitcase out. Pack up whatever you can in five minutes. We must take the six o’clock train for Danbridge. I did not wait to hear any more. The mere mention of the name of the quaint and quiet little Connecticut town was sufficient. For Danbridge was on everybody’s lips at that time. It was the scene of the new famous Danbridge poisoning case a brutal case in which the pretty little actress, Vera Lytton, had been the victim.

Excerpt from book: Ill The Sybarite WE found the Novella Beauty Parlour on the top floor of an office building just off Fifth Avenue on a side street not far from Forty second Street. A special elevator, elaborately fitted up, wafted us up with express speed. As the door opened we saw a vista of dull green lattices, little gateways hung with roses, windows of diamond paned glass set in white wood, rooms with little white enamelled manicure tables and chairs, amber lights glowing with soft incandescence in deep bowers of fireproof tissue flowers. There was a delightful warmth about the place, and the seductive scents and delicate odours betokened the haunt of the twentieth century Sybarite. Both O’Connor and Leslie, strangely out of place in the enervating luxury of the now deserted beauty parlour, were still waiting for Kennedy with a grim determination. ‘A most peculiar thing,’ whispered O’Connor, dashing forward the moment the elevator door opened. fWe can’t seem to find a single cause for her death. The people up here say it was a suicide, but I never accept the theory of suicide unless there are undoubted proofs. So far there have been none in this case. There was no reason for it.’ Seated in one of the large easy chairs of the reception room, in a corner with two of O’Connor’s men standing watchfully near, was a man who was the embodiment of all that was nervous. He was alternately wringing his hands and rumpling his hair. Beside him was a middle sized, middle aged lady in a most amazing state of preservation, who evidently presided over the cosmetic mysteries beyond the male ken. She was so perfectly groomed that she looked as though her clothes were a mould into which she had literally been poured. ‘Professor and Madame Millefleur otherwise Miller,’ whispered O’Connor, not…

The Social Gangster

‘The fifth volume in the chronicles of Craig Kennedy, Scientific Detective, takes up the familiar and successful formula for a new round of adventures. Kennedy deals with the usual sorts of crimes jewel theft, missing persons, wrongly accused suspects, fixed horse races, arson, murder, and blackmail but he uses scientific procedures to analyze the evidence, sometimes involving fantastical devices. In this volume, for example, we have a new form of lie detector, a primitive sound recorder, a device that detects eavesdropping, rays that cause explosives to spontaneously ignite, a perpetual motion machine which is debunked but which conceals a device that dissolves walls, mysterious drugs, and murder by means of germs. There’s also a mystery involving voodoo, although there’s no supernatural content. For fans of the Sherlock Holmes genre in particular, although SF readers should be entertained by Kennedy’s methods.’ Don D’Ammassa, Science Fiction Chronicle

Excerpt from book: in THE SOUL ANALYSIS ‘ LJERE’S the most remarkable appeal,’ observed n Kennedy, one morning, as he tossed over to me a letter. ‘What do you make of that?’ It read: Montrose, Conn. My Dear Professor Kennedy: You do not know me, but I have heard a great deal about you. Please, I beg of you, do not disregard this letter. At least try to verify the appeal I am making. I am here at the Belleclaire Sanatorium, run by Dr. Bolton Burr, in Montrose. But it is not a real sanatorium. It is really a private asylum. Let me tell my story briefly. After my baby was born I devoted myself to it. But, in spite of everything, it died. Meanwhile my husband neglected me terribly. After the baby’s death I was a nervous wreck, and I came up here to rest. Now I find I am being held here as an insane patient. I cannot get out. I do not even know whether this letter will reach you. But the chambermaid here has told me she will post it for me. I am ill and nervous a wreck, but not insane, although they will tell you that the twilight sleep treatment affected my mind. But what is happening here will eventually drive me insane if some one does not come to my rescue. Cannot you get in to see me as a doctor or friend? I will leave all to you after that. Yours anxiously, Janet mrs. Roger Cranston. ‘What do you make of it yourself?’ I returned, handing back the letter. ‘Are you going to take it up?’ He slowly looked over the letter again. ‘Judging by the handwriting,’ he remarked, thoughtfully, ‘I should say that the writer is laboring under keen excitement though there is no evidence of insanity on the face of it. Yes; I think I’ll take up the case.’ ‘But how are you going to get in?’ I asked. ‘They’ll never admit you willingly.’ Kennedy pondered a minute. ‘I’ll get in…

The Gold Of The Gods

Excerpt from book: HI THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL DETECTIVE ‘ T THINK I’ll go into the University Library,’ J Craig remarked, as we left Norton before his building. ‘ I want to refresh my mind on some of those old Peruvian antiquities and traditions. What the Senorita hinted at may prove to be very important. I suppose you will have to turn in a story to the Star soon? ‘ ‘ Yes,’ I agreed, ‘ I’ll have to turn in something, although I’d prefer to wait.’ ‘ Try to get an assignment to follow the case to the end,’ suggested Craig. ‘ I think you’ll find it worth while. Anyhow, this will give you a chance for a breathing space, and, if I have this thing doped out right, you won’t get another for some time. I’ll meet you over in the laboratory in a couple of hours.’ Craig hurried up the long flight of white marble steps to the library and disappeared, while I jumped on the subway and ran downtown to the office. It took me, as I knew it would, considerably over a couple of hours to clear things up at the Star, so that I could take advantage of a special arrangement which I had made, so that I could, when a case warranted it, co operate with Kennedy. Mystory was necessarily brief, but that was what I wanted just now. I did not propose to have the whole field of special feature writers camping on my preserve. Uptown I hurried again, afraid that Kennedy had finished and might have been called away. But when I reached the laboratory he was not there, and I found that he had not been. Up and down I paced restlessly. There was nothing else to do but wait. If he was unable to keep his appointment here with me, I knew that he would soon telephone. What was it, I wondered, that kept him delving into the archaeological lore of the library? I had about given him up, when he hurried int the laboratory in…

Constance Dunlap

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www. million books. com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: CHAPTER Hi THE GUN BUNNEBS ”we’ll land here, Mrs. Dunlap.’ Ramon Santos, terror of the Washington State Department and of a half dozen consulates in New York, stuck a pin in a map of Central America spread out on a table before Constance. ‘ Insurrectos will meet us,’ he pursued, then added, ‘ but we must have money, first, my dear Senora, plenty of money.’ Dark of eye and skin, with black imperial and mustache, tall, straight as an arrow, Santos had risen and was now gazing down with rapt attention, not at the map, but at Constance herself. Every curve of her face and wave of her hair, every line of her trim figure which her filmy gown seemed to accentuate rather than conceal added fire to his ardent glances. He touched lightly another pin sticking in a little, almost microscopic island of the Caribbean. ‘ Our plan, it is simple,’ he continued with animation in spite of his foreign accent. ‘ On this island a plant to print paper money, to coin silver. With that we shall land, pay our men as they flock to us, collect forces, seize cities, appropriate the customs. Once we start, it is easy.” Constance looked up quickly. ‘ But that is counterfeiting,’ she exclaimed. ‘ No,’ rejoined Santos, ‘ it is a war measure. We the provisional government merely coin our own money. Besides, it will not be done in this country. It will not come under your laws.’ There was a magnetism about the man that fascinated her, as he stood watching the effect of his words. Instinctively she knew that it was not alone enthusiasm over his scheme that inspired his confidences. ‘ Though we are not counterfeiters,’ he went on, ‘we do not know what moment our opponents may set your Secret Service to destroy all our hopes. Besides, we must have money now to buy machinery, arms,…

On his way back to the States, after leaving us at St. Thomas, he had been intercepted at Havana, and been moved down to the Isthmus, like a chessman, by the chief of the Secret Service.
