About This Book

A detective and his assistant investigate a highly skilled savings-bank burglary, identifying a mechanical expert among the thieves but suspecting a more powerful mastermind directing the crime. Through police consultation they learn the suspected cracksman’s troubled past and a daughter who may be involved, while offers of reward and press negotiations fail to recover the stolen funds. The case takes a turn when a plain-clothes officer delivers a private, urgent letter that contains a banknote, introducing a new lead and raising tensions in the pursuit of the gang.
