Produced by An Anonymous Project Gutenberg Volunteer, and David Widger "The Silent Bullet" by Arthur B. Reeve is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Craig Kennedy, a methodical professor of chemistry who aspires to integrate scientific principles into criminal investigations. Throughout the narrative, Kennedy seeks to unravel a murder mystery involving the seemingly inexplicable death of a wealthy broker named Kerr Parker, who is killed by a silent bullet that leaves behind no obvious evidence of the crime. At the start of the novel, we meet Craig Kennedy and Walter Jameson, who discusses the need for a more scientific approach to crime detection. Kennedy’s confidence in his method quickly becomes apparent when he receives a bullet connected to the murder of Kerr Parker, which had been recovered from the victim's neck. He examines the bullet closely, suggesting it may lead them to the true murderer by utilizing advanced forensic techniques that would defy the traditional methods employed by the police. As the story unfolds, Kennedy probes deeper into the circumstances surrounding Parker's death, gathering evidence and witnesses as he employs distinct scientific methods to solve the crime and ultimately expose the perpetrator.
