NICK CARTER STORIES

New Magnet Library

Not a Dull Book in This List

ALL BY NICHOLAS CARTER

Nick Carter stands for an interesting detective story. The fact that the books in this line are so uniformly good is entirely due to the work of a specialist. The man who wrote these stories produced no other type of fiction. His mind was concentrated upon the creation of new plots and situations in which his hero emerged triumphantly from all sorts of troubles and landed the criminal just where he should be—behind the bars.

The author of these stories knew more about writing detective stories than any other single person.

Following is a list of the best Nick Carter stories. They have been selected with extreme care, and we unhesitatingly recommend each of them as being fully as interesting as any detective story between cloth covers which sells at ten times the price.

If you do not know Nick Carter, buy a copy of any of the New Magnet Library books, and get acquainted. He will surprise and delight you.

In order that there may be no confusion, we desire to say that the books listed below will be issued during the respective months in New York City and vicinity. They may not reach the readers at a distance promptly, on account of delays in transportation.

A DOUBTFUL CLIENT.

Mr. Carter, can I trust you?

It was in the great detective’s own house that this question was asked.

Well, was Nick’s quiet answer, if you had any doubt on that matter, why did you come to me?

His caller looked nervously at the floor.

There’s no use in talking to me, Nick went on, unless you do trust me. A detective can do nothing for a client who does not give him his confidence absolutely.

Of course, the other assented; I did not mean to offend you.

You haven’t offended me.

I am so disturbed by it, you see. So much depends on secrecy. It is so terribly important that I found it difficult to make up my mind to consult anybody on the matter; and yet I know by your reputation that you are a perfectly trustworthy man. There is nobody in the States more so.

While the man was speaking Nick was studying him.

In fact, the detective had been doing that from the moment the man entered.

He was apparently about fifty years old; a well-dressed, prosperous-looking man, who might be a merchant, or a lawyer, or a banker.

Nick did no guessing. The man might be anything else. He had given his name as George Snell, but he had not sent in his card, and he had not said where he belonged.

Word had simply been taken to Nick by a servant that a Mr. George Snell wanted to see him on most important business.

He isn’t an American, was Nick’s only conclusion from what had been said thus far. An American would not have spoken simply of ‘the States,’ as he did.

There had been a pause after the caller’s last remarks.

Well, he exclaimed then, "I’m not coming more than two-thirds of the way across the continent for
