About this book
Behind the counters of Toronto's Victoria Bank, immaculate clothes and sporting reputations coexist with tedious accounts. Jack Cresswell has a balance three cents out when he calls on Geoffrey Hampstead, the capable paying teller he admires. Geoffrey's strength, charm, and skill make him a favorite, but Jack's jokes about his hidden motives raise doubts about the purposes beneath his easy manner.
Stinson Jarvis sets this mystery novel among bank clerks, club dinners, social ambitions, and life on the water. A later passage follows Geoffrey and Margaret after an evening of dancing, then takes the yacht Ideal through changing winds toward a harbor refuge. Precise sailing details give the social scenes a physical setting.
