| Summary |
"The Photographer's Evidence; Or, Clever but Crooked" by Nicholas Carter is a detective story written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Nick Carter, a renowned detective who is approached by a mysterious client named George Snell. The case involves the kidnapping of a governor's daughter and the theft of significant State papers, with layers of blackmail complicating the situation. At the start of the story, Nick Carter receives a visit from Mr. Snell, who expresses doubts about whether he can trust the detective. As they engage in conversation, it becomes apparent that Snell is troubled and concealing vital information, leading Nick to observe his behavior carefully. Snell reveals that a young woman named Estelle, the governor's daughter, has gone missing, along with important items of jewelry and state documents. However, Nick's suspicions about Snell’s true motives grow when he learns that there might be a double gang involved and that Snell himself may not be entirely honest. The opening sets the stage for a gripping investigation filled with twists and turns as Nick Carter seeks to uncover the truth behind a complex web of deception.
