| Summary | "The Girl Kidnaper; or, Nick Carter's Up-To-Date Clew" is a detective story from the Nick Carter series, likely written in the early 20th century. This installment sets the stage for a thrilling mystery involving the disappearance of Mrs. de Puyster van Dietrich from a locked hotel room, prompting the arrival of the renowned detective Nick Carter to solve the case. The story is rife with intrigue, as wealthy guests in a seaside hotel grapple with unexplained vanishings, setting the tone for a captivating investigation led by Carter. The opening portion of the story establishes a puzzling scenario where Mrs. van Dietrich disappears from her locked bedroom, triggering concern among the hotel managers. As tension builds, two detectives—Paul Savage and James Mallory—debate the strange circumstances surrounding her disappearance and reach out to Nick Carter for assistance. Simultaneously, Carter reveals himself to be impersonating Colonel Pearson as he assesses the situation, hinting at deeper intrigues involving other guests at the hotel, including a character named Baroness Latour. The chapter teases a layered plot, as it intertwines the themes of abduction, deceit, and detective work, while slowly introducing the distinct personalities involved in this enigmatic case.
