The Case of the Disappearing Corpse

What's the matter? What is it? It's a case for Nick Carter, master detective. Yes, it's another case for that most famous of all man hunters. The detective whose ability at solving crime is unequaled in the history of detective fiction.

Nick Carter, master detective. Are you doing my same thing? Give me a...

Oh, oh! Thunderstorm rages outside. A shot. A man falls dead. Saul begins a strange adventure for Nick Carter, master detective. An adventure in which a murder seemed to be no murder at all. And the dead body vanished into thin air.

The case of the disappearing corpse. Good morning, Mary. Oh, how are you, Nick? What brings you down here to headquarters so early in the morning? It's only just 10 o'clock. Well, I've been out in the country for the past couple of weeks, writing an article on crime detection methods.

Finish it last night. I stopped in on my way back to my office past the time of day. That's what it's doing. Yeah, it's pretty quiet, Nick. Nothing exciting has happened in the past ten days.

Oh, Matty, haven't you even got one simple little murder just to keep me in practice? I'm bored. Well, would you be interested in checking up on a suicide? Now, what's that who investigated about a suicide?

Well, you never can tell, Nick. I just got a report that a guy bumped himself off in an uptown apartment house. I was going up to take a look at it myself, but the commissioner just called and must seem in these office right away.

Uh, you want to go up in my place? Oh, I don't know, Matty. If it's just the usual routine, you can lay off after you make the call. Anybody else going up? Medical examiners going along?
