- An elderly janitor robs the bank in which he works and is found murdered not long afterward. As Mike investigates he uncovers several suspects, including Nikki's former boyfriend, who works at the same bank.
- At a branch of the New Orleans First National Bank after closing, Virgil Willis, two months on the job as janitor, proceeds to rob the bank of approximately $250,000, placing all the bank employees in the vault for his successful getaway. He had no prior criminal record, and has since vanished without a trace. Mike discovers that Virgil was a generally well liked individual who worked hard all his life for little in return, and thus was probably not the mastermind behind the robbery, but just the inside man. Mike figures there are at least two more accomplices: someone who commandeered the getaway vehicle, which they learn was a stolen garbage truck, and another inside person who would have provided much more detailed bank information than Virgil would have access to. They also believe that the robbery may have had something to do with the fact that there was an impending audit of the bank books. Mike suspects the other inside man is Henry Benton, the assistant bank manager, who is living beyond his means. Nikki hopes that the other inside man is not Roy Landers, who she knew five years ago for only three weeks when he was an army captain stationed in Germany, she a magazine writer doing a story on him. She did not know he worked at the bank as a teller until this case as she has not seen or heard from him since their time in Germany. They have rekindled their relationship, both who wished they had the time to discover if it could have been more five years ago. But in getting involved with Roy, Nikki may unwittingly be caught into the web of the case, the robbers who want to protect their interest at all cost.—Huggo
