The Undoing of a Melee by Hugo St Finisterre

In a Mississippi interior chase a bank cashier Castleton flees New York with 850000. An anonymous tip guides an agent to Aldine, Mississippi, where a staged pursuit and mistaken identity unfold amid a ramshackle village. The hoax letter leads to Castleton’s arrest in New York and bank funds are largely recovered.
