| Summary | "Under the Tiger's Claws; Or, A Struggle for the Right" by Nicholas Carter is a detective fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the renowned detective Nick Carter, who is called in to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Cecil Kendall, a trusted bank clerk, after his employer suspects a substantial cash deficit at the bank. As the plot unfolds, themes of gambling, embezzlement, and unrequited love surface, intertwining the fates of several characters within this high-stakes drama. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Nick Carter meeting with banker Raymond Gilsey, who expresses his growing concern over Kendall's unexplained absence and the financial discrepancies that coincide with it. As Nick delves into the investigation, he uncovers details about Kendall’s dubious associations and gambling habits, while also introducing several key players in the story, including the banker’s attractive stenographer Belle Braddon and influential gambler Moses Flood. These character interactions set the stage for a gripping exploration of moral choices, betrayals, and the consequent fallout, weaving together a web of intrigue that promises to keep readers engaged in Carter's quest for the truth.
