Marking 100 years since publication, The Adventuress was the first full-length novel to feature 'scientific detective' Craig Kennedy, who was dubbed 'the American Sherlock Holmes' and the first fictional detective to use forensic science.
Who killed Marshall Maddox of Maddox Munitions, Inc., the inventors of the top secret telautomaton? Was his death retribution for a double life, or was it due to the covetousness of some schemer? Even Craig Kennedy is challenged by the diabolical scientific inventiveness and ruthlessness at the centre of the crime - and by Paquita, the mysterious adventuress .
