Nick Carter was the son of detective Sim Carter, who taught him investigation techniques from a young age, and turned him into a fine physical specimen. Nick took on one of his father's cases, disguised as his father, during which his father was murdered. Nick felt compelled to follow in his father's footsteps.
In this mystery, a famous dancer is found dead, obviously strangled, but the killer has left no clue as to his or her identity. Could this be the case that even Carter cannot solve?
Most Dime Novels were written by established authors under a pen name. Nicholas Carter was a pseudonym used by Frederick Russell Burton.
