About This Book

A celebrated detective is summoned when a banker disappears and a typewritten farewell to his fiancée suggests he eloped with his stenographer. Skeptical, the investigator questions family and staff, examines the letter's composition and surrounding oddities—the chauffeur's early departure, repeated visits by the alleged companion, and inconsistent typing habits—and follows clues that point to conspiracy rather than voluntary desertion. The narrative traces methodical inquiry into motive, possible forgery, and social appearances as hidden arrangements and deceptions behind the apparent elopement are gradually uncovered.
