Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt: ?Extraordinary?that doesn?t half express it. I know of no word that would. To some extent, Nick, at least, men?s motives are usually discernible in their conduct. But in this case?why, there was nothing to it. It is utterly inexplicable. It was like a horrid dream, a hideous nightmare, or the mental abnormalities of a dope fiend.? Nick Carter laughed and spread his napkin, with a significant glance at his chief assistant, Chick Carter, who sat at one side of the table, that of a private dining room in a new and fashionable New York hotel. ?Well, Mr. Clayton, if the story you have to tell warrants so remarkable a preface, it will be interesting, at least,? said the famous detective. ?Yes, Nick, and then some,? Chick agreed, smiling. ?He so has aroused my curiosity that I really am all ears.? ?I don?t think I shall disappoint you,? said their companion, more gravely. He was a fashionably clad man of thirty-five, of medium build and with clean-cut, attractive cast of features, smoothly shaved. There was in other respects nothing specially distinctive about him. He was the type of well-bred, well-informed, and thorough business man with which New York City abounds.
