Overview

A cub journalist races into a high-stakes case when a Manhattan bank is looted in broad daylight. A tip from the financial district opens a trail of false leads, whispered rumors, and shadowy figures who move between counting rooms and back alleys. Press deadlines loom, evidence disappears, and every clue seems to point in two directions at once. With a notebook in hand and a knack for reading people, the investigation pushes from the city room to Wall Street-then into neighborhoods where money and influence mean little, but loyalty and silence mean everything. As the story deepens, a pattern emerges: forged identities, hidden safe-deposit boxes, and a carefully timed alibi that only looks airtight. Street smarts and persistence uncover links among a teller with sudden debts, a broker touting too-good-to-be-true tips, and a messenger who knows more than he dares say. Chases by ferry and elevated train raise the stakes, while a daring nighttime watch outside the shuttered bank reveals the one mistake the thieves never expected anyone to catch. The final revelations hinge on legwork, patience, and the courage to print the truth-no matter who objects. Authorship note: Originally issued under the pseudonym ""Raymond Sperry,"" but written by Howard R. Garis.
