Beschreibung

In "Nick Carter at the Track; or, How He Became a Dead Game Sport," Nicholas Carter weaves an exhilarating narrative that expertly balances elements of mystery, adventure, and a keen examination of American sporting culture in the early 20th century. The story follows the iconic detective Nick Carter as he navigates the thrills and dangers of horse racing, exposing the underbelly of corruption and deceit within this popular pastime. Carter'Äôs literary style is infused with vivid descriptions and brisk dialogue, immersing readers in the excitement of the track while employing a pacing that harkens back to the serialized storytelling characteristic of the dime novels of the era. Nicholas Carter, the pseudonym for the prolific writer, was a pioneer in the genre of detective fiction. Emerging during a time when popular fiction was becoming increasingly accessible, Carter's contributions echoed the era's fascination with crime and the resolute individualism of its protagonists. His extensive background in journalism and a keen understanding of the cultural zeitgeist of the time likely influenced his depiction of Nick Carter as both a sport and a savvy investigator, bridging the worlds of gambling and crime-solving. I highly recommend "Nick Carter at the Track" to anyone interested in the rich tapestry of early detective fiction and the historical significance of American sports culture. This work not only entertains but also offers insightful commentary on themes of morality, risk, and the human condition, making it a must-read for fans of the genre.

    A Bike at Large is the fourth book in Jo’s ‘At Large’ series. 
    When he was overtaken by a jogger on a borrowed mountain bike, Jo knew it was time for drastic action. Welcome to the world of a man in his 60s and his new e-bike. 
    His first injury occurred within one foot! Setting off for his first practice ride round a car park, he misjudged the width of the handlebars and scraped his hand on the cycle shop’s stone wall. 
    ‘You’ll go places you’ll never have dreamed of,’ said the shop owner. Prophetic words indeed. Eighteen hours later Jo was embedded in his neighbours hedge due to a clothing malfunction. Fortunately, before setting out he’d put his ego and self-esteem in the top drawer in the kitchen. 
    With the emergency ambulance on speed-dial, Jo climbs a steep learning curve on a series of mini adventures throughout the north of England, mercifully with a diminishing distance to injury ratio. 
    By calling his e-bike a ‘Lifestyle Investment’, it took his wife’s mind off the cost. At the time she needed some new slippers, so it was a sensitive issue. Asked whether he was searching for eternal youth? ‘Not really,’ he said, ‘more trying to keep out of my eternal hole in the ground.’ 
    Fuelled by red wine and optimism, off he goes………
