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.

Transcriber’s Notes

This transcription follows the text of the edition published by A. L. Burt Company in 1925. However, the following alterations have been made to correct what are believed to be unambiguous errors in the text:

  • “the windless” has been changed to “the windlass” (Chapter I).
  • Three occurrences of unmatched quotation marks have been repaired.
