Showing results for "millions" in Private Investigators

Take $2 million in bank securities and a bank manager who moonlights as a magician. Blend well, then add: a nagging shrew of a wife, a high-maintenance daughter in debt up to her ears, a talk show host who foots too many of the family bills, a theater producer who's never around when people need him, and it's clear Gabe Heinz has two million reasons to disappear. He is in the middle of his vanishing act on stage when he does just that - vanish before a sell-out crowd, along with $2 million in securities from the bank where he's vice president.

In Agatha Christie’s short story, “The Million Dollar Bond Robbery,” Poirot must prove the innocence of a young bank manager who has had a million dollars in bonds stolen from him while on a boat voyage to New York. Could it be one of his superiors? And why were the bonds being sold in New York before his ship arrived? This short story originally appeared in the May 2, 1923 issue of The Sketch magazine.
