Description

In the bustling marble lobby of a major city bank, the day’s payroll deliveries swell to a staggering million‑plus dollars, and every teller feels the pressure of handling such sums with flawless precision. A nervous clerk named Cliff Wallace finds himself exchanging furtive glances with a striking young woman in a blue coat, both aware that a single misstep could expose something far larger than ordinary bookkeeping. As the line of businessmen and modest entrepreneurs drags on, an undercurrent of suspicion builds, hinting that the seemingly routine cash‑handling may conceal a hidden scheme.

Enter Jim Hanvey, a wily private detective whose reputation rests on spotting the slightest irregularity in a sea of numbers. When a faint trail of counterfeit notes and an oddly generous cash slip appear, Hanvey’s keen eye and unorthodox methods pull him into the tangled web of deceit unfolding behind the bank’s polished counters. Listeners will be drawn into the tense atmosphere of early‑twentieth‑century finance, where every ledger entry could be a clue and every handshake might conceal a secret.
