Summary "Nick Carter Stories No. 123, January 16, 1915: Half a Million Ransom; or, Nick..." is a fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the astute detective Nick Carter as he investigates the abduction of a young girl, Amy Madden, unveiling a nefarious plot entwined with deception and manipulation. Alongside his junior assistant, Patsy Garvan, Carter navigates through layers of intrigue, leading to a confrontation with a cunning gang. The opening of this tale begins with Nick Carter spotting a woman who appears to be in distress in Central Park, which piques his interest as a detective. After assisting the woman, he soon realizes that her fainting spell may have been a ploy, coinciding with the disappearance of the nurse's charge, a child named Amy. As Carter pieces together the suspicious circumstances surrounding the incident alongside his assistant, they urgently set out to locate both the child and a woman linked to the deceitful scheme, implying the tensions and risks that lie ahead in their journey to thwart a ransom demand.
