"A Taxicab Tangle; or, The Mission of the Motor Boys" by Stanley R. Matthews is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of two main characters, Motor Matt (Matt King) and his friend Joe McGlory, as they navigate a web of surprises and mysteries in New York City. The plot centers around McGlory's potential fortune from a mining claim and the intrigues that arise as the boys prepare for a crucial meeting involving gold bullion. At the start of the story, we are introduced to Matt and Joe, who are in a hotel lobby in New York after several days of exploration. Joe receives an exciting letter from Colonel Billings, revealing a significant opportunity involving gold bars linked to the "Pauper's Dream" mining claim. Shortly after this discovery, the opening chapter unfolds with a mysterious twist when a stranger, who initially appears as a messenger, leads Matt into a complicated scenario involving a taxicab accident and an unexpected encounter with a woman—setting the stage for a series of surprising events that challenge the boys' resourcefulness and courage.
