Arthur B. Reeve

    Arthur Benjamin Reeve fu un autore di gialli americano, celebre per aver creato il personaggio del Professor Craig Kennedy. Il suo protagonista, a volte soprannominato "lo Sherlock Holmes americano", fu protagonista di ottanta racconti pubblicati tra il 1910 e il 1918. Reeve spesso intrecciava queste popolari storie, completate da un leale reporter come spalla, in narrazioni più lunghe. Le sue opere sono notevoli per aver fuso trame avvincenti con le conoscenze scientifiche della sua epoca.

    • "Scoprire il colpevole di un delitto è come cercare una verità scientifica nascosta". Per provare quanto sia giustificata questa affermazione di partenza, Reeve ci presenta una collezione dei primi "casi" brillantemente risolti dall'"investigatore scientifico" Craig Kennedy con l'aiuto del suo fedele amico, il giornalista Walter Jameson. In ognuno dei "casi" gioca un ruolo determinante la criminologia; ma anche l'intuito e l'inventiva di Kennedy hanno la loro parte nel guidare il processo deduttivo verso la soluzione. Ne risulta un'opera decisamente particolare, capace di coinvolgere ogni volta il lettore fino alla conclusione del "caso" illustrato; conclusione che, come è di rigore in un giallo con le carte in regola, è sempre tanto rapida quanto imprevedibile.
