Synopsis
In a gripping mystery from the author of Britz of Headquarters, a man is unjustly imprisoned after being mistaken for the culprit in a post office robbery. As fate would have it, however, the real criminal is not a common thief but a wealthy, influential man whose motive for stealing a letter had less to do with money and more to do with an illicit affair. The circumstances surrounding this elaborate substitution and its complicated aftermath—including the murder of a wealthy businessman—make for a page-turning tale of deception, suspense, and intrigue, as a renowned detective works with his characteristic skill and determination to solve a mystery that would challenge even the greatest of minds.
