THE CHESTERMARKE INSTINCT 


By J. S. Fletcher (1863-1935) 


Bank manager John Hornbury is missing, as are securities and jewels from the 
bank’s vault. Gabriel Chestermarke and his nephew Joseph have unaccountably 
refused to call in the police to investigate the theft from their bank. When Betty 
Fosdyke shows up to visit her Uncle John, she finds it past belief that he would 
simply disappear — let alone that he would commit larceny. Unable to simply sit 








by and wait while a detective from Scotland Yard investigates, Betty elicits the 
help of the chief clerk at Chestermarke’s bank and launches into the middle of the 
mystery.(Summary by MaryAnn)
