Hidden Foes; Or, A Fatal Miscalculation by Nicholas Carter
"Hidden Foes; Or, A Fatal Miscalculation" by Nicholas Carter is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on the renowned detective Nicholas Carter as he is called to investigate the sudden death of Gaston Todd, a young man found dead under mysterious circumstances. As Carter delves into the case, he uncovers a tangled web of rivalry, secrets, and perhaps foul play, drawing on his exceptional skills to
reveal the truth behind the enigmatic events. The opening of the novel sets a grim and suspenseful tone as it describes the moment Gaston Todd is discovered dead in a corridor, evoking intrigue with the absence of any noise or disturbance prior to his death. The narrative transitions quickly from the initial shock of the discovery to the arrival of Nicholas Carter, who is informed of the death while consulting with police about other mysterious crimes in the area. His keen observational skills and intuition suggest that Todd's death is more than a simple case of natural causes; it potentially ties into a broader pattern of criminal activity.
