  A bullet fired in a crowded room with no sound. A safe cracked without leaving a single trace. A deadly disease unleashed by a phantom killer. 
  Before the modern CSI laboratory, there was Professor Craig Kennedy. Armed with test tubes, rudimentary lie detectors, microscopes, and an intellect as sharp as a scalpel, Kennedy brings the analytical power of the university laboratory to the gritty, blood-stained streets of New York City. 
  In The Silent Bullet, follow the brilliant scientific sleuth and his trusted companion, journalist Walter Jameson, as they tackle a series of baffling, seemingly impossible crimes. High-society murders, scientific safe-crackers, and diabolical revenge plots engineered with terrifying ingenuity are no match for Kennedy's cutting-edge forensic methods. 
  Will the invisible clues left behind by the guilty be enough to bring them to justice? Step back into a golden era of mystery where science and deductive reasoning clash with the darkest criminal minds. Fans of classic detective fiction, historical mysteries, and intricate puzzle-plots will be enthralled by every suspenseful revelation.

  A "Blue Carbuncle" is stolen from a hotel suite, and a former felon is soon arrested. However, an acquaintance of Holmes discovers the carbuncle in the throat of a Christmas goose. Holmes traces the owner of the goose, but soon determines that he was not the thief by offering him a replacement goose. The detective continues his search, first to an inn and then a dealer in Covent Garden. The dealer refuses to provide Holmes with information about the source of the goose, but Holmes observes another man trying to find the same information, and confronts him. The man, the head attendant at the hotel, confesses to his crime. Holmes allows him to remain free, arguing that prison could make him a hardened criminal later.
