Summary "Captain Sparkle, Pirate; Or, A Hard Man to Catch" by Nicholas Carter is a novel written in the early 20th century. The storyline revolves around a chance encounter with a brazen pirate, Captain Sparkle, who boards a luxurious yacht and robs its wealthy owner, Maxwell Kane. This encounter sets the stage for a thrilling investigation led by the infamous detective Nick Carter, who seeks to unravel the mystery behind the audacious pirate's identity and intentions. The opening portion of the book introduces us to Maxwell Kane, who visits Nick Carter to recount his alarming experience of being boarded by pirates while aboard his steam-yacht, the "Goalong". As Kane describes the incident, he reveals how Captain Sparkle, a flamboyantly dressed pirate chief, and his crew stealthily approached their vessel and conducted their robbery with shocking ease. The chapter teases the reader with Kane’s frustration and embarrassment over the unexpected turn of events, culminating in Nick agreeing to accompany him to gather more information aboard the yacht while Kane's guests come into play, further complicating the narrative. The stage is effectively set for intrigue, excitement, and the promise of more daring escapades to come as Nick Carter pushes to confront the pirate menace.
