Detective Stories: The Silent Bullet Ch10 – The Black Hand

Posted on by

It’s an all new audiobook. The Silent Bullet, by Arthur B. Reeve.

Follow the adventures of Professor Craig Kennedy and his assistant Walter Jameson as they track down criminals scientifically.

From Wikipedia:
Arthur Benjamin Reeve (October 15, 1880 – August 9, 1936) was an American mystery writer. He is best known for creating the series character Professor Craig Kennedy, sometimes called “The American Sherlock Holmes,” and his Dr Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter, in eighteen detective novels. 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 came out in 1918; it reissued Reeve’s books-to-date as a matched set.

This Story is called The Black Hand. A girl is kidnapped. Gennaro, the great Tenor, is beside himself for worry for his daughter. He asks Kennedy for help. Kennedy suspects “The Black Hand”, the notorious criminals who some might know as the Mafia. Can Kennedy save the girl, save her father, and save the money too?

Bedtime Stories: Princess Minon-minette

I love reading to my kids. I know some parents do not have the time to read to their children, or have problems reading. So I am offering bedtime stories, all for free.

This story is Princess Minon-minette from
THE PINK FAIRY BOOK Edited by Andrew Lang

This story is about a King who is raised by a fairy, so is kind of a jerk. He goes in search of a bride and finds Princess Minon-minette, who thinks he is no big deal. The Princess’s Fairy tells the king what he must do to win her heart, and the king goes off to do it. But the king is captured, and the princess declares war on the evil Iron King. Will the good king escape? Will the Princess win her war?

This fairy tale is Rated G. There are no murders or bloodiness, but there are some pretty advanced topics for a fairy tale, and it tends to wander at times.
