520 _a"The Four-Fingered Glove; Or, The Cost of a Lie" by Nicholas Carter is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows the famous detective Nick Carter as he navigates a complex murder case involving Reginald Meadows Danton, who finds himself embroiled in a potential murder accusation after the body of his cousin, Ramon Orizaba, is discovered in his room. The novel delves into themes of identity, deception, and the quest for truth, all set within the intricacies of family dynamics and societal expectations. The opening of the novel establishes a tense atmosphere as Nick Carter is approached early in the morning by Danton, who is visibly shaken and distressed. Danton reveals that Orizaba has been murdered in his presence, and his own innocence is in question as he grapples with fragmented memories of the night before, during which he was heavily intoxicated. The narrative introduces Danton’s family background, including his sister, Mercedes, and the ominous implications of the murder. As the chapter progresses, Danton recounts his recollections and reasons for believing he might unconsciously be the murderer, setting the stage for a gripping exploration of truth and guilt intertwined with deception and familial loyalty.
