Summary: "Nick Carter Stories No. 147, July 3, 1915: On Death's Trail; or, Nick Carter's Strangest Case" is a detective story likely written in the early 20th century. The tale follows the astute detective Nick Carter and his assistants as they investigate the mysterious disappearance of a supposed corpse, which turns out to be the body of a dangerous criminal, Andy Margate. The narrative unfolds with elements of suspense and intrigue, showcasing Carter’s clever deductions and relentless pursuit of truth. The opening of the story sets a dark and atmospheric tone, describing a dim room where a corpse is supposed to lie, only for it to be reported missing the next morning. Nick Carter, called to the scene by the police chief, quickly begins his investigation, suspecting that Margate may have faked his death using a drug to escape. As the plot thickens, the reader is introduced to a series of twists involving medical students who impulsively steal the body for dissection, leading to a web of crime, deception, and potential blackmail. The beginning skillfully establishes the key characters and the central mystery, setting the stage for Carter's ensuing sleuthing and the unraveling of a greater conspiracy.
