Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Larry Dexter's Great Search; Or, The Hunt for the Missing Millionaire" by Howard R. Garis is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the young reporter Larry Dexter, who finds himself on a mission to uncover the mystery behind a missing New York millionaire after receiving a special assignment from his newspaper. As Larry embarks on this adventure, he faces multiple challenges that test his resolve and journalistic skills. At the start of the narrative, Larry Dexter is sent to cover a dramatic shipwreck of the S.S. Olivia off the Jersey coast. Between the cascading waves and a brewing storm, he meets a fisherman named Bailey, who aids him in rescuing a man from a life raft—yet the plot thickens as Larry discovers the rescued man's odd behavior and the mystery surrounding his identity. As the story unfolds, Larry navigates the dangerous waters of both the storm and the complexities of journalism, setting the stage for a gripping tale of uncovering secrets and facing threats in his pursuit of truth.
