Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. New York: Harpers [reissued from 1914 first edition plates]. Very Good hardcover, w/o dustwrapper as issued. Inserted plate frontispiece by Charles Davison Mitchell (1855-1942) depicting Guy Garrick, an American imitation of Sherlock Holmes, and the prototype for Reeve's Craig Kennedy character. Fantastic detection (inventions). Though this later issue was assigned the position of #11 in the Craig Kennedy Scientific Detection series, in fact it's not about Craig, but his predecessor Guy Garrick, likewise mixing science fiction elements with detective fiction.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. No Jacket. New York: Harper, 1916. Later printing issued from first edition plates. Near Fine hardcover, w/o dustwrapper as issued. Inserted frontispiece by Will Foster (1883-1953). Craig Kennedy fantastic detective shorts including "The Perpetual Motion Machine" "The Voodoo Mystery" "The Weed of Madness" "The Evil Eye" "The Respiration Calorimeter" and many others. Many of the Craig Kennedy books are listed for science fiction and supernatural content in Bleiler I and Reginald fantastic checklists. Craig Kennedy once was America's most popular detective in books, magazines, and silent films, and no US author of any type sold better in the UK. In WWI, Reeve was asked by the American government to create a scientific lab for use against spies. He made it the most advanced in any nation of his day. This surprising fact, atop his character's popular reception, is that he inspired the first police labs such as are today taken for granted. Not much read today, nor as highly esteemed as many of his contemporaries; even so, his position in criminist literature and early s-f cannot be regarded slight.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. New York: Harper, [re-issued from 1913 first edition plates]. Very Good or better cloth, w/o dustwrapper as issued. Frontispiece plate by Will Foster (1883-1953) depicts Constance. Foster was very active as a book and magazine illustrator in his youth, but matured into a successful American impressionist painter and muralist. This later issue was assigned the position of #12 in the Craig Kennedy fantastic detective series, but these aren't Craig Kennedy tales at all. These are the adventures of a woman detective with the same fantastic touches as for Craig's adventures (as in "The Clairvoyants"). "The Dope Fiend" is an influential story that set the "standard" for sensationalist depiction of drug addicts for decades to come. Constance is personally a reformed thief with many friends remaining in the crime world, a surprisingly dark vision of a woman detective.
