About this audiobook
Many of the Scientific Detective books were short-story collections, with chapters blending into one another. This one, however, is a novel with an on-going plot and cast of characters.
A weapon used to murder a wealthy business man was apparently an ancient dagger stolen from a museum. It supposedly was from Peru and had a centuries-old inscription that was thought to tell whereabouts of a massive gold stash in the South American country. It was said to have a curse on it for anyone using it to track down the treasure. Professor Craig Kennedy, noted user of science to solve such cases, was contacted to see what he could do. Would his thinking prowess be enough? The finger of blame points at several possibilities as to the guilty party, or possibly parties. The major question centers on one word … WHO?
You’re now invited to listen and find out.
As fans of suspense, you may find enjoyable listening to such other tales featuring Kennedy as The Silent Bullet, The Dream Doctor, and The Ear in the Wall, available from Blackstone Publishing. Sports fans can also enjoy the one-of a kind World Series Classics, historic reenactments of 1945 Cubs-Tigers, 1946 Cardinals-Red Sox, and 1956 Yankees-Brooklyn Dodgers. Each is nine hours long with every play of every game, including the famous perfect game by Don Larsen in 1956.
