About this book

Railway thefts send Nick Carter and his assistants into a concealed camp beside the tracks, dressed and speaking like the men they hope to investigate. A railroad president has offered a large reward for the real Hobo Harry, an elusive leader whose name has already produced eight false captures. In A Woman at Bay, Nicholas Carter builds a detective novel around the difficulty of finding one directing mind behind a widespread criminal network.

The opening relies on disguise, close conversation and the practical demands of working undercover. A later scene moves into a rough trial among outlaws, where accusations about spies, a fire and a rescue from quicksand bring the detectives' assumed identities under pressure. Readers find a crime adventure driven by shifting appearances and arguments over proof, with Nick's assistants sharing the dangers of the investigation.
