A human counterfeit; or, Nick Carter and the crook's double -- Snapshot artillery [continued]. David Edwards, Chuck Greif and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net (Northern Illinois University Digital Library) "A human counterfeit; or, Nick…" by Nick Carter Stories is a fictional detective story written in the early 20th century. The book features the famous detective Nick Carter as the main character, who is called to investigate an unusual case involving the abduction of a hotel manager, Chester Clayton. The narrative sets the stage for intrigue, deception, and the mystery surrounding a criminal who may be using Clayton's identity for nefarious purposes. The opening of the story introduces us to a tense dinner conversation where Clayton recounts his strange abduction experience to Nick Carter and his assistant, Chick. Clayton describes being held at gunpoint by well-dressed men who appeared to be gentlemen but were clearly in disguise. After being blindfolded and confined to a room with no indication of his whereabouts, Clayton fears for his life and the possibility of further danger. As Nick Carter listens and considers the odd circumstances, he predicts that Clayton’s abduction was only a prelude to a more significant plot that may lead to crime linked directly to Clayton and the hotel where he works, particularly regarding valuable jewels connected to opera singers. The scene is set for a classic detective tale where Carter must piece together clues to unravel the mystery.
