| Summary |
"Guy Garrick" by Arthur B. Reeve is a detective novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Guy Garrick, a scientifically-minded detective, and his friend who join forces to unravel a series of perplexing criminal cases, starting with the theft of a wealthy man's automobile and the ensuing murder that seems tied to the vehicle. The opening of the book introduces Garrick in his office, where he discusses recent automobile thefts in the city, hinting at deeper criminal activity. Soon after, they are visited by characters including Mortimer Warrington, a young millionaire whose car has been stolen—a theft connected to a possible murder. As Garrick analyzes a cartridge linked to this case, it becomes clear that this is not an ordinary vehicle theft; it alludes to a larger criminal conspiracy. The relationships between the characters begin to unfold, particularly the connection between Warrington and Violet Winslow, an heiress worried about the scandal surrounding her acquaintance, setting the stage for intrigue and mystery as the plot unfolds.
