| 520 | _a"A Battle for Right; Or, A Clash of Wits" by Nicholas Carter is a detective novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the protagonist, Howard Milmarsh, whose life spirals after a heated poker game results in an unexpected death, pushing him into a state of panic and resulting in his decision to flee. The plot likely navigates themes of morality, culpability, and the quest for redemption, typical of Carter's engaging storytelling. The opening of the book introduces a tense poker game at the Old Pike Inn, where accusations of cheating ignite violence among the players. Howard Milmarsh, one of the players, confronts his cousin Richard Jarvis over claims of deceit, leading to a scuffle that ends in a fatal blow. As Howard grapples with the repercussions of his actions—believing he may be a murderer—he resolves to escape his life and the consequences awaiting him. Disturbingly intertwined with these events is the watchful eye of the famed detective Nick Carter, suggesting that the story will develop into a thrilling pursuit of both justice and truth surrounding the tragic circumstances at the inn.
