Summary "Nick Carter Stories No. 121, January 2, 1915: The Call of Death; or, Nick…." is a detective fiction publication likely written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Nick Carter, a celebrated detective known for his keen investigative skills, along with his assistant Chick Carter, as they delve into a complex case involving a recent bank burglary and the mysterious disappearance of a clergyman, Reverend Austin Maybrick. The narrative encompasses themes of crime, intrigue, and the detective's astute deductions amidst a backdrop of deception and danger. The opening of the story introduces readers to a discussion between Nick Carter and Inspector Mallory regarding a recent bank heist, where they suspect a notorious criminal named Jim Nordeck may be involved. As they investigate further, they encounter a peculiar letter hinting at a dead man in Harlem, leading them to explore the connections between Nordeck, his daughter, and the clergyman's disappearance. Alongside the development of the main storyline, we also see the introduction of various characters, including a mysterious young woman who urgently seeks Nick Carter's assistance, signifying imminent twists and potential danger. This engaging and suspenseful beginning sets the stage for a classic detective story filled with unexpected developments and investigations. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
