About this book
A knock at the door of a busy bank in Geneva introduces Allan Pinkerton's account of a robbery and the detectives assigned to investigate it. The opening places the bank among farms, coal mines, factories and shops, making the crime part of a town whose business depends on trust. Pinkerton presents the case as an actual occurrence, with the participants' names changed, and frames his narrative as a warning about the consequences of dishonesty.
The investigation follows interviews, correspondence and the pursuit of suspects across several towns. A missing portion of the stolen money gives the detectives another puzzle, even as they recover a discarded bag of silver beside a railway.
