The adventuress : A Craig Kennedy detective story

When a gunshot shatters the quiet of a university chemistry building, Craig Kennedy is already waiting in his lab to meet an unexpected visitor. The disheveled man staggers in, stunned but unharmed, begging for help and hints of a secret he cannot yet explain. Kennedy’s calm, scientific mind immediately begins to sift through the clues, setting the stage for a high‑stakes investigation.

He brings a frantic request involving the powerful Maddox munitions family, whose heir has been found dead in Westport Bay and a fortune worth millions hangs in the balance. Family rivalries, hidden weapons contracts, and a whispered “adventuress” add layers of danger that beckon Kennedy’s trademark blend of chemistry and deduction. As the mystery deepens, listeners are drawn into a race against time where every experiment could reveal the truth.
