This early work by Arthur Benjamin Reeve was originally published in
1914 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory
biography. 'The Dream Doctor' features super-sleuth Professor Craig
Kennedy who is sometimes referred to as "The American Sherlock Holmes"
due to his astounding ability at crime solving and his Watson-like
sidekick Walter Jameson, a newspaper reporter. In 'The Dream Doctor,'
Kennedy uses his knowledge of chemistry and psychoanalysis to solve
mysteries; with the help of exotic devices such as lie detectors,
gyroscopes, and portable seismographs. Arthur Benjamin Reeve was born
on 15th October 1880 in New York, USA. Reeve received his University
education at Princeton and upon graduating enrolled at the New York
Law School. However, his career was not destined to be in the field of
Law. Between 1910 and 1918 he produced 82 short stories for
Cosmopolitan. During this period he also began authoring screenplays,
and by the end of the decade, his film career was at its peak with his
name appearing on seven films, most of them serials and three of them
starring Harry Houdini. Reeve later continued to write detective
stories for pulp magazines, but also covered many celebrated crime
cases for various newspapers, including the murder of William Desmond
Taylor, and the trial of Lindbergh baby kidnapper, Bruno Hauptmann. In
1932 he moved to Trenton to be near his alma mater. He died on 9th
August 1936.
