Summary "Nick Carter Stories No. 11, November 23, 1912: Nick Carter Strikes Oil; or,…" is a fictional detective story likely written in the early 20th century. The story features the renowned detective Nick Carter as he investigates a complex case involving the suspicious death of a clergyman, Reverend Elijah Judson, amid allegations of swindling related to oil land dealings. At the start of the story, tensions arise as Mr. Judson is confronted by an angry farmer, Hank Low, who believes he has been cheated in a land deal involving land that Judson endorsed as part of an oil company venture. Following a heated exchange, Mr. Judson later falls to his death from a hotel window, leading to speculation regarding foul play. The narrative quickly escalates as Nick Carter is summoned to unravel the mystery of Judson's demise, leading him to suspect a web of deception that entangles corrupt business deals and unresolved conflicts surrounding oil wealth.
