Larry Dexter's Great Search; Or, The Hunt for the Missing Millionaire

Larry Dexter has already proved himself a clever city reporter, but his latest "special assignment" pushes him into uncharted territory. When a sudden news flash reports the wreck of the S.S. Olivia off Seven‑mile Beach, the newsroom rushes to send a journalist to the scene. Dexter hops aboard a rescue raft, battles a raging tide, and discovers a lone survivor whose clues hint at something far more puzzling than a simple maritime disaster.

Back in New York, the young reporter follows a trail of cryptic messages, nervous witnesses, and a mysterious girl named Grace who seems to know more than she lets on. As he pieces together fragments of a vanished fortune, Dexter learns that the missing millionaire’s disappearance is tangled with shady accusations, hidden motives, and a shadowy underworld. The chase leads him from bustling city streets to cramped tenements, testing his instincts and daring him to uncover the truth before it slips away.
