Nick Carter is a fictional detective who first appeared in 1886 in dime store novels. Over the years, different authors, all taking the nom de plume Nicholas Carter, have penned stories featuring "America's greatest detective". Nick is customarily to be found among the rich and powerful but in this latest offering, he is to be found with his three assistants sitting around a makeshift campfire made of railroad tires. "These four men were about as rough-looking specimens of humanity as can be imagined." Is Nick down on his luck? Or is it just another case? (7 hr 10 min)

Critiques

THE FEMALE IS DEADLIEST OF THE SPECIES


(5 stars)

An enjoyable yarn with mostly good readers. Many of the NC novels use a double formula wherein Nick subdues the bad guy twice. This goes one further; Madge requires three. She is a bad one
