N2  - "The Traitors of the Tropics; or, Nick Carter's Royal Flush" is a detective fiction story from the Nick Carter series, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative follows the renowned detective Nick Carter as he becomes involved in a perilous situation concerning Prince Marcos, who is recovering from an assassination attempt and is desperately trying to return to his country, Joyalita, to prevent a coup. With a unique blend of intrigue and adventure, the book explores themes of loyalty, deception, and the battle against treachery.  The opening of the story sets the stage with Prince Marcos in a precarious state after being shot, expressing his urgent need to travel back home to thwart the plans of those who seek to overthrow him. Nick Carter, understanding the gravity of the situation, proposes an audacious plan to impersonate the prince in order to safeguard the country’s future. The tense interaction between the doctor and Carter highlights the urgency of their mission, while underlying plots involving political betrayal and danger from Marcos' rivals promise an engaging journey filled with suspense and action as they attempt to outsmart the conspirators threatening Joyalita.
