| Summary | "£19,000" by Burford Delannoy is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the deadly consequences when a dentist and his surgeon brother find themselves embroiled in a murder involving a wealthy American who dies under dubious circumstances in their dental office. As they grapple with the moral and legal implications of their actions, they are pulled into a sinister web that involves deceit, greed, and a desperate bid to keep their lives intact. The opening of the book introduces readers to the dentist, Charles Lennox, who is anxiously waiting for a rare patient amid financial strife. His day takes a dark turn when an American man, George Depew, comes in needing a tooth extraction, only to die unexpectedly during the procedure due to complications. In a panic, the brothers devise a plan to conceal the body and the money that Depew is carrying, setting the stage for a high-stakes thriller filled with tension and moral dilemmas. As they attempt to cover up their foul play, the story unfolds into a gripping narrative that examines the lengths to which individuals will go when faced with desperation and the allure of unexpected wealth.
