Description
Financial manager John Hornbury has disappeared without notice, as are safeties and jewelries from the bank’s treasury. Gabriel Chestermarke and his nephew Joseph have mysteriously repudiated to inform the police to probe the robbery from their bank. When Betty Fosdyke arrives to make a visit to her Uncle John, she learns it earlier with conviction that he would plainly vanish, without interference that he would perpetrate aggravated burglary. Powerless to just sit by and expect while an investigator from Scotland Yard searches, Betty brings about the assistance of the main clerk at Chestermarke’s bank and gets underway into the middle of the case. Joseph Smith Fletcher was a British journalist and novelist. He created stories over 230 narratives on a broad array of subject matters, both fiction and non-fiction, and was among the highly distinguished British authors of mystery novels. Joseph was born in Halifax, West Yorkshire, the son of a minister. His father departed his life when he was only eight months old, and soon after, his grandmother brought him up on a farm in Darrington, close to Pontefract. He studied at Silcoates School in Wakefield, and after he took up law, he became a journalist. When he was 20 years old, Joseph started an employment in journalism, as a sub-editor in London. He consequently went back to his home land Yorkshire, where he wrote first on the Leeds Mercury under the fictitious name A Son of the Soil, and later as a special correspondent for the Yorkshire Post reporting on Edward VII’s coronation in 1902. Joseph’s first texts printed were verse. He afterwards took the next step in writing a number of master pieces of historical fiction and history, mostly about Yorkshire, which brought to his collection as a member of the Royal Historical Society.
