Summary "The Borough Treasurer" by J. S. Fletcher is a murder mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Milford Cotherstone, the Borough Treasurer, who finds himself in a precarious situation when his tenant, the elderly Mr. Kitely, is found dead under suspicious circumstances. As the plot unfolds, themes of blackmail, buried secrets, and the consequences of past actions surface, as Cotherstone grapples with the fear of his dark history being exposed. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Highmarket, the town where the story takes place, and the main characters, including Cotherstone and his partner Mallalieu. The plot kicks off with a tense encounter between Cotherstone and Kitely, who reveals that he recognizes Cotherstone from a conviction thirty years prior, leading to implications of blackmail. The opening builds a sense of impending dread as Kitely is later found dead, raising questions about Cotherstone's involvement and his desperate need to keep his former life hidden. The stage is set for a gripping investigation into murder and corruption, with Cotherstone's precarious position at its center. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
