Description

This early work by Arthur Benjamin Reeve was originally published in 1912 and we are now republishing it with a brand new biography. " The Terror In The Air" features Professor Craig Kennedy, who is sometimes referred to as "The American Sherlock Holmes" due to his astounding ability at crime solving and his Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter. In this book, Kennedy attempts to solve a case where two pilots have been killed in testing of a new gyroscope flying machine. The inventor will go broke if sabotage is not proved. Arthur Benjamin Reeve was born on 15th October 1880 in New York, USA. Reeve received his University education at Princeton and upon graduating enrolled at the New York Law School. However, his career was not destined to be in the field of Law. Between 1910 and 1918 he produced 82 short stories for Cosmopolitan. During this period he also began authoring screenplays. By the end of this decade his film career was at its peak with his name appearing on seven films, most of them serials and three of them starring Harry Houdini. In 1932 he moved to Trenton to be near his alma mater. He died on 9th August 1936.
