Reeve is a detective novel that likely originated in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Craig Kennedy, a brilliant professor and detective, who is summoned to investigate a high-profile poisoning case involving a young actress named Vera Lytton. As he delves deeper into the mystery, Kennedy teams up with his companion, Walter Jameson, to uncover the intricate web of deceit and motives surrounding Lytton's tragic death, exploring themes of conspiracy and justice.
