| Summary |
"The Seal of Gijon; Or, Nick Carter’s Ice-House Fight" is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Nick Carter, a skilled detective, as he navigates a dangerous plot involving a kidnapped prince and his attempts to thwart the plans of ruthless adversaries. The tale begins with an action-packed pursuit on the Hudson River that sets the stage for a battle of wits and bravery. The opening of the novel introduces Nick Carter and his assistant Chick as they engage in a tense chase involving rival gangsters. In a thrilling river encounter, they realize that three men, including the notorious gangster Pet Carlin, are intent on abducting their handcuffed prisoners, Prince Marcos and Don Solado. After a close call during their confrontation, Carter becomes determined to rescue Marcos and uncover the deeper conspiracy at play, which involves threats to his life and the prince's monarchy. With its fast-paced action and clever plotting, the narrative promises suspense and intrigue as Carter races against time to secure Marcos's safe return to Joyalita.
