Summary: "Nick Carter Stories No. 159, September 25, 1915: Driven from Cover; or, Nick..." is a fictional detective story from the early 20th century. The book features the renowned detective Nick Carter and follows him and his assistant, Chick Carter, as they investigate a mysterious telephone call that suggests a crime has been committed. The story kicks off with ominous developments in a high-society setting, indicating that a deadly mystery is about to unfold. The opening of the story begins with Nick Carter receiving an unsettling phone call that seems to be connected to the murder of Doctor Joseph Thorpe. Despite the absence of any sound on the line, Nick's instincts drive him to the residence of Chester Clayton, where a grim scene awaits—Doctor Thorpe's corpse sprawled on the library floor and Julia Clayton, his mother, in a catatonic state, haunted by the phrase "the scar." This sets the stage for a complex investigation involving deception and hidden identities, especially as Nick Carter gradually unearths a web of secrets tied to the Clayton family, including a possible connection to a notorious figure from the past. The story promises suspense and intrigue as the detectives dig deeper into this unfolding mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
