NICK CARTER STORIES New Magnet Library PRICE, FIFTEEN CENTS Not a Dull Book in This List Nick Carter stands for an interesting detective story. The fact that the books in this line are so uniformly good is entirely due to the work of a specialist. The man who wrote these stories produced no other type of fiction. His mind was concentrated upon the creation of new plots and situations in which his hero emerged triumphantly from all sorts of trouble, and landed the criminal just where he should be—behind the bars. The author of these stories knew more about writing detective stories than any other single person. Following is a list of the best Nick Carter stories. They have been selected with extreme care, and we unhesitatingly recommend each of them as being fully as interesting as any detective story between cloth covers which sells at ten times the price. If you do not know Nick Carter, buy a copy of any of the New Magnet Library books, and get acquainted. He will surprise and delight you. | ALL TITLES ALWAYS IN PRINT | | 850—Wanted: A Clew | By Nicholas Carter | | 851—A Tangled Skein | By Nicholas Carter | | 852—The Bullion Mystery | By Nicholas Carter | | 853—The Man of Riddles | By Nicholas Carter | | 854—A Miscarriage of Justice | By Nicholas Carter | | 855—The Gloved Hand | By Nicholas Carter | | 856—Spoilers and the Spoils | By Nicholas Carter | | 857—The Deeper Game | By Nicholas Carter | | 858—Bolts from Blue Skies | By Nicholas Carter | | 859—Unseen Foes | By Nicholas Carter | | 860—Knaves in High Places | By Nicholas Carter | | 861—The Microbe of Crime | By Nicholas Carter | | 862—In the Toils of Fear | By Nicholas Carter | | 863—A Heritage of Trouble | By Nicholas Carter | | 864—Called to Account | By Nicholas Carter | | 865—The Just and the Unjust | By Nicholas Carter | | 866—Instinct at Fault | By Nicholas Carter | | 867—A Rogue Worth Trapping | By Nicholas Carter | | 868—A Rope of Slender Threads | By Nicholas Carter | | 869—The Last Call | By Nicholas Carter | | 870—The Spoils of Chance | By Nicholas Carter | | 871—A Struggle With Destiny | By Nicholas Carter | | 872—The Slave of Crime | By Nicholas Carter | | 873—The Crook’s Blind | By Nicholas Carter | | 874—A Rascal of Quality | By Nicholas Carter | | 875—With Shackles of Fire | By Nicholas Carter | | 876—The Man Who Changed Faces | By Nicholas Carter | | 877—The Fixed Alibi | By Nicholas Carter | | 878—Out With the Tide | By Nicholas Carter | | 879—The Soul Destroyers | By Nicholas Carter | | 880—The Wages of Rascality | By Nicholas Carter | | 881—Birds of Prey | By Nicholas Carter | | 882—When Destruction Threatens | By Nicholas Carter | | 883—The Keeper of Black Hounds | By Nicholas Carter | | 884—The Door of Doubt | By Nicholas Carter | | 885—The Wolf Within | By Nicholas Carter | | 886—A Perilous Parole | By Nicholas Carter | | 887—The Trail of the Fingerprints | By Nicholas Carter | | 888—Dodging the Law | By Nicholas Carter | | 889—A Crime in Paradise | By Nicholas Carter | | 890—On the Ragged Edge | By Nicholas Carter | | 891—The Red God of Tragedy | By Nicholas Carter | | 892—The Man Who Paid | By Nicholas Carter | | 893—The Blind Man’s Daughter | By Nicholas Carter | | 894—One Object in Life | By Nicholas Carter | | 895—As a Crook Sows | By Nicholas Carter | | 896—In Record Time | By Nicholas Carter | | 897—Held in Suspense | By Nicholas Carter | | 898—The $100,000 Kiss | By Nicholas Carter | | 899—Just One Slip | By Nicholas Carter | | 900—On a Million-dollar Trail | By Nicholas Carter | | 901—A Weird Treasure | By Nicholas Carter | | 902—The Middle Link | By Nicholas Carter | | 903—To the Ends of the Earth | By Nicholas Carter | | 904—When Honors Pall | By Nicholas Carter | | 905—The Yellow Brand | By Nicholas Carter | | 906—A New Serpent in Eden | By Nicholas Carter | | 907—When Brave Men Tremble | By Nicholas Carter | | 908—A Test of Courage | By Nicholas Carter | | 909—Where Peril Beckons | By Nicholas Carter | | 910—The Gargoni Girdle | By Nicholas Carter | | 911—Rascals & Co. | By Nicholas Carter | | 912—Too Late to Talk | By Nicholas Carter | | 913—Satan’s Apt Pupil | By Nicholas Carter | | 914—The Girl Prisoner | By Nicholas Carter | | 915—The Danger of Folly | By Nicholas Carter | | 916—One Shipwreck Too Many | By Nicholas Carter | | 917—Scourged by Fear | By Nicholas Carter |
