A four-fingered glove lies at the center of a murder case that will destroy a man's life. When the body of Ramon Orizaba is discovered in Reginald Meadows Danton's room, all evidence points to Danton as the killer. But Nick Carter, the legendary detective whose name has graced a thousand dime novels, sees something others miss. That peculiar glove with its missing digit is not just a clue, it's a message, a signature left by someone who wants Danton to hang for a crime he didn't commit. As Carter digs deeper, he uncovers a web of stolen valuables, false identities, and a conspiracy that reaches into the highest circles of society. The truth hides behind a maze of lies, and the cost of deception may be higher than anyone imagined. This is pulp detective fiction at its finest: swift, cunning, and utterly unpredictable.
