Reeve, featuring Craig Kennedy and Walter Jameson¿the American Holmes and Watson.  Excerpt from the book:  \"It has always seemed strange to me that no one has ever endowed a professorship in criminal science in any of our large universities.\"  \"Why should there be a chair in criminal science?\" I remarked argumentatively, settling back in my chair. \"I've done my turn at police headquarters reporting, and I can tell you, Craig, it's no place for a college professor. Crime is just crime. And as for dealing with it, the good detective is born and bred to it. College professors for the sociology of the thing, yes; for the detection of it, give me a Byrnes.\"  \"On the contrary,\" replied Kennedy, \"there is a distinct place for science in the detection of crime. On the Continent they are far in advance of us in that respect. We are mere children beside a dozen crime-specialists in Paris, whom I could name.\"","brand":"Jonah Magar","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47116965282032,"sku":"2940169888713","price":5.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940169888713_p0.jpg?v=1763696492","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940169888713","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
