Publisher Description
Present-day San Francisco in a good detective story. Rapid action; tense excitement; satisfying romance 'one of the best of this season's crop of puzzle yarns. When a million dollars disappears from a bank, young Worth Gilbert, just home from the World War I battlefields, bids on a cha to find the colorless bank teller who disappeared with it. He'll pay the bank dollar 800, 000 with the right to keep it all if he catches the thief with the missing funds. He brings in Boyne, the bank's private detective and the novel's narrator, and Barbara, his childhood friend, to help. Along the way, he's accused of having stolen the money himself and, ultimately, of murder.

The Million Dollar Suitcase
Not bad for a 100 year old book +/-. Interesting, engaging writing style. Author born in 1858. Plus, she had to weave a story without all the tech toys, that have been invented since the early 1900s, that current authors use to mystify their tales. Ha! She used what was available...magnets!
