Summary "New Nick Carter weekly no. 197: The little glass vial; or A beautiful blackmailer brought to bay" is a crime fiction story attributed to the popular detective character Nick Carter, written during the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1900. This installment is part of a series that showcases the exploits of Carter, a master detective known for his sharp intellect and problem-solving skills. The narrative revolves around themes of blackmail, murder, and the intricacies of human relationships, showcasing the challenges faced when one seeks justice. The story begins with Nick Carter responding to a telegram regarding the suspicious death of Samuel Rogers, believed by his son to be a case of murder rather than natural causes. As Carter investigates, he uncovers a network of deceit involving a beautiful woman named Anita Alvarez, who is entangled in a scheme to blackmail the Rogers family, particularly through leveraging her marriage to the son, Sam. The plot thickens as Carter discovers hypodermic syringes and toxic substances that suggest foul play. Through clever deduction, he ultimately reveals that Mr. Rogers died from natural causes, but the machinations of Alvarez and her associates sought to orchestrate a blackmail scheme against the grieving family. In a thrilling climax, Carter brings the criminals to justice, ensuring the safety and future of the Rogers family. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
