The Babbington Case
: Private detectives usually carry a concealed weapon. In Nick Carter's time, that weapon was often a five- or six-shot revolver. Nick uses deadly force only when he has no other option, believing the person or people he is pursuing poses an imminent threat to himself or others. But, when lovely socialite Edythe Lynne is brutally murdered, Nick checks that his two revolvers and his two spring-loaded arm guns are in perfect working order. He has a funny feeling he is going to need them.
