Marking 100 years since publication, The Adventuress was the only full-length novel to feature 'the American Sherlock Holmes', Craig Kennedy, who was the first fictional detective to use forensic science. An American from Maddox Munitions, Incorporated, the owners of a new invention – the telantomaton – forms the centre round which this exciting mystery tale is built. In trying to answer the ever-present question, "Who killed Marshall Maddox?" the reader is tossed about a sea of conjecture by two strong main currents which continually cross and recross each other and keep him mystified till the end of the book. Scientific inventiveness, at time diabolical in its ruthlessness plays no less strong a part than does Paquita, the adventuress. Was the death of Maddox retributive for his double life or was it due to the covetousness of some schemer? It required a detective of Craig Kennedy's acumen to discover. Views: 9
New work from a poet who "seems to be getting stronger with each collection" (David Yezzi, The New Criterion)William Logan is widely admired as one of our foremost masters of free verse as well as formal poetry; his classical verve conjures up the past within the present and the foreshadowings of the present within the past. In their sculptural turns, their pleasure in the glimmerings of the sublime while rummaging around in the particular, the poems in Rift of Light, Logan's eleventh collection, are a master class of powerful feeling embedded in language. Ranging from Martin Luther to an abandoned crow, from a midwife toad to a small-town janitor, from actress Louise Brooks to Dürer's stag beetle, Logan shows an encyclopedic attention to the passing world. Dry, witty, skeptical, these dark and acidic poems prove a constant and informing delight. Views: 9
