| Summary |
"The Forced Crime; or, Nick Carter’s Brazen Clew" is a fictional detective story from the Nick Carter series, likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the brilliant detective Nick Carter, who is approached by Professor Matthew Bentham about a mysterious burglar who has been repeatedly visiting his home without stealing anything. The narrative hints at underlying dangers related to a secret organization's records and potential hypnotic control over individuals involved, introducing a gripping layer of intrigue. The beginning of this story sets up an intriguing case when Professor Bentham reveals his troubling experiences with a burglar in his bedroom, along with a package of critical records that have now gone missing. As Nick Carter investigates, he discovers that the burglar's intentions may be linked to a powerful secret organization, the Yellow Tong, and its connection to a well-known figure, Ched Ramar. The plot thickens with the introduction of Bentham’s daughter, Clarice, who becomes a focal point of the investigation as her actions seem to be influenced by hypnotic control, creating a thrilling atmosphere filled with suspense and psychological drama.
