About This Book
A tightly plotted crime tale traces the impact of a mysterious letter and a subsequent killing that embroils a young bank employee and his circle in suspicion, courtroom drama, and covert inquiry. Interwoven episodes in a private laboratory, bank offices, and foreign hotels reveal shifting identities, financial motives, and strained personal loyalties as acquaintances and relatives are questioned. A single investigating officer pieces together contradictory alibis, secret visits, and subtle clues, moving the narrative between methodical detection, tense domestic confrontations, and a trial whose outcome depends on uncovering who truly knew the critical facts.
