Description

A bustling October afternoon at Washington’s Union Station sets the stage for a puzzling encounter. An unassuming old gentleman slips a cryptic instruction to a stranger, sending him toward a hotel where a hidden agenda awaits. The scene quickly shifts to the Treasury Building, where the same figure walks straight into Chief Welden’s office, flashing a card that bears the name of the famed New York sleuth, Nick Carter.

Carter is drawn into a covert government operation that promises to affect the very fate of the nation. As he follows the trail of secret messages and shadowy meetings, he must outwit both bureaucratic red tape and a network of unseen adversaries. The story weaves suspense with the classic hallmarks of Carter’s razor‑sharp intuition, inviting listeners to unravel the mystery alongside the detective, step by tense step.

1868–1930

Best remembered for writing juvenile fiction in the late 1920s, this little-known American author left behind a small but intriguing paper trail. His name is most often connected with the 1929 book Midnight to High Noon, and even basic biographical details are now surprisingly scarce.
