  The Silent Bullet is a collection of 12 detective short stories by Arthur B. Reeve, featuring Craig Kennedy and Walter Jameson—the American Holmes and Watson.  Excerpt from the book:  "It has always seemed strange to me that no one has ever endowed a professorship in criminal science in any of our large universities."  "Why should there be a chair in criminal science?" I remarked argumentatively, settling back in my chair. "I've done my turn at police headquarters reporting, and I can tell you, Craig, it's no place for a college professor. Crime is just crime. And as for dealing with it, the good detective is born and bred to it. College professors for the sociology of the thing, yes; for the detection of it, give me a Byrnes."  "On the contrary," replied Kennedy, "there is a distinct place for science in the detection of crime. On the Continent they are far in advance of us in that respect. We are mere children beside a dozen crime-specialists in Paris, whom I could name."

  The story begins with the narrator, Doctor John Watson, explaining that his friend Sherlock Holmes always refers to Irene Adler as "THE woman,” because he believes she is the best woman he has ever met in every regard. Watson declares that Sherlock Holmes is too analytical to ever feel romantic love for someone because that would invite distractions that could disrupt his thinking about cases. Watson explains that he hasn't seen much of Holmes because he's gotten married and moved into a new home with his wife, leaving Holmes to live alone in the home the two men used to share. Now that he lives with his wife, Watson tracks Holmes by reading about his cases in the newspaper. One night when he is walking home from a patient's house, Watson finds himself in front of Holmes's apartment on Baker Street. He looks through the window and sees Holmes pacing, which he recognizes as a sign that Holmes is thinking excitedly about a case. Watson decides to ring the bell for a visit.
