Nick Carter is the detective at the center
The Nick Carter stories center on one man, a private detective who works in New York and sometimes far beyond it. He is shown as clever, strong and tireless, and he relies on both sharp thinking and physical courage. Readers of the series came to expect that he would see through a scheme that fooled everyone else.
The character was first created in the 1880s by the publisher Street and Smith, with early tales credited to the writer John R. Coryell. After that, many writers worked under the name Nicholas Carter. This is why the style and quality of the tales vary from one title to the next.
When you meet him in a story like this one, you are meeting a type as much as a person. He is the dependable hero who stands between honest people and a cunning villain.
That’s 1 of 4 key points.
