A Spectacular Plot Against England’s Banks
Did Bertie Hayes commit a serious robbery? The police think so. But George Warwell and Fry Knowles believe the idea is absurd. They resolve to prove Colonel Warwell’s old army comrade is innocent.
But the evidence against Bertie keeps piling up. So, they team up with their trio of friends – Inspector Bullington of Scotland Yard, Thomas Pope and Bob Buzzby. Yet, even Bullington considers Bertie to be the prime suspect.
Undeterred, the sleuths delve deeper into the mystery. As their efforts pay off, a brilliant plot against the Bank of England begins to emerge. And the alarming consequences of the burglary are finally revealed. Drastic measures will be required if the stolen property is to be recovered – and Bertie is to be freed. But time is not on their side. And the perpetrators are determined and merciless.
Can the band of sleuths stop the villains before they wreak a national catastrophe?
