A bank clerk disappears with thousands in stolen funds—but as the hunt begins, the truth may prove far more tangled than theft alone 💰🕵️‍♂️

“Not every man on the run is a criminal—sometimes he’s just the only one telling the truth.” — Narrator

The Case of Laker, Absconded, Part 1

When young bank clerk Alfred Laker vanishes with a substantial sum of money, suspicion falls on him as a classic case of embezzlement. But as the details unfold, inconsistencies surface—too many for a straightforward escape. The detective assigned to the case begins to suspect a deeper conspiracy behind Laker’s disappearance, one involving forged signatures, false friends, and financial pressures no honest man could withstand.

This opening chapter delves into the blurry line between guilt and desperation, where running might be the only way to survive.

Written and created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s contemporaries.
