About This Book

A detective narrative follows a worried woman who seeks a medico-legal expert to unravel a scheme of forged banknotes and accompanying deceptions. The investigator assembles inquiries, experiments, and legal reasoning to reconstruct the counterfeit operation, trace the roles of accomplices, and reveal how notes were manufactured and planted. As evidence accumulates, loyalties shift, confidences break, and perpetrators are exposed, producing disillusionment among conspirators and a measured resolution for the principal figures.
