"The Million-Dollar Suitcase" by Alice MacGowan and Perry Newberry is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around a serious robbery at the Van Ness Avenue Savings Bank, where a significant sum of nearly a million dollars has vanished following the suspicious disappearance of one of the bank's tellers, Edward Clayte. The narrative primarily follows the characters of detective Jerry Boyne, who is tasked with solving the case, and Worth Gilbert, the son of the bank's benefactor, who takes an active interest in recovering the missing money. At the start of the story, a board meeting at the bank descends into chaos as the directors grapple with the alarming news of Clayte's vanishing act along with the suitcase containing the bank's funds. The tension is palpable as each character reacts differently to the crisis, revealing their personalities and motives. Worth Gilbert’s arrival introduces a fresh perspective, as he exhibits confidence and a keen interest in taking matters into his own hands. The chapter ends with a decision to hire Boyne as the detective to track down Clayte, hinting at a deeper connection between the characters and possibly more complex motives behind the theft. Worth's determination to reclaim the money sets the stage for a thrilling investigation, intertwining personal stakes with the unfolding mystery. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
