Nick Carter Stories No. 159, September 25, 1915: Driven from cover; or, Nick Carter's double ruse.

Nick Carter, the celebrated private detective, is jolted from a quiet evening by a baffling telephone call that ends in a sudden, eerie silence. The voice that whispers his name seems to belong to a woman, and the line drops as if something—or someone—has been violently cut off. Determined to trace the source, Carter summons his trusty assistant Chick and his driver Danny, setting off toward the mysterious Clayton residence, a place tied to past cases but now shrouded in new intrigue.

As the trio races through the night, the atmosphere thickens with the promise of danger and deception. Carter’s keen instincts sense that this is no ordinary prank; the vanished voice hints at a hidden threat that could reach far beyond a simple prank call. Listeners are drawn into a classic chase, where every clue could be a trap and every step brings the detectives closer to a secret that refuses to stay silent.
