In an era when science seemed to promise the solution to every mystery, Craig Kennedy brought forensic ingenuity to murder investigations. This installment finds the brilliant detective unraveling a deadly family feud where old grievances collide with cutting-edge technology. When a patriarch falls victim to a seemingly impossible killing, Kennedy must untangle webs of inheritance, betrayal, and rivalries that stretch back generations. His scientific method faces its ultimate test: distinguishing ally from enemy in a household where everyone has something to hide. The wonder of early twentieth-century innovation runs through every page, but so does its darkness. Narrated by the faithful Walter Jameson, this is vintage scientific detective fiction at its most entertaining.
