Summary "The Pressing Peril; Or, Nick Carter and the Star Looters" by Carter and Phillips is a detective fiction story likely written in the early 20th century. This installment of the Nick Carter series centers around the famous New York detective, Nick Carter, as he investigates the mysterious disappearance of Lady Waldmere, who is presumably kidnapped while out with her husband. At the start of the story, readers are introduced to Nick Carter as he encounters an Englishman, Lord Waldmere, who is in distress over the sudden abduction of his American wife, Lady Waldmere. As Nick listens to the young lord’s account, it becomes evident that she was taken away under suspicious circumstances, leading Nick to suspect foul play linked to a recent visit to a loan company. The chapter hints at a web of deceit and abduction, setting the stage for Nick Carter's determined quest to unravel the mystery and rescue Lady Waldmere, introducing an intriguing mix of suspense and charm characteristic of early detective tales.
