Biographie de l'auteur

About the Author Arthur Benjamin Reeve (1880 - 1936) was an American mystery writer known for creating the character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called "The American Sherlock Holmes", and sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter. 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.
