Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Larry Dexter and the Stolen Boy; or, A Young Reporter on the Lakes" by Howard R. Garis is a children's mystery novel written in the early 20th century." The story revolves around Larry Dexter, a talented young reporter known for his knack for solving complex mysteries. In this installment, Larry finds himself embroiled in a case involving a missing boy linked to the famous singer Madame Androletti, a character shadowed by danger due to her enemies. "At the start of the book, we meet Larry Dexter, who is called to cover a concert at the last minute, an assignment he initially handles with reluctance." As the narrative unfolds, the concert takes a dramatic turn when Madame Androletti faints on stage, which Larry suspects is tied to the presence of a mysterious man who had signaled to two others in the audience. After the concert, it becomes clear that Androletti's son, Lorenzo, is missing. Despite constraints that prevent her from raising an alarm, Androletti, in a desperate bid to keep her son safe, works with Larry to uncover the identity of the kidnappers, leading him on a thrilling quest to locate Lorenzo and face the dangers surrounding them.
