In The Leland Case Matter, insurance investigator Johnny Dollar is dispatched to New York to look into the mysterious disappearance of wealthy businessman Leland Case. A man with a history of turbulent relationships and immense financial responsibilities, Case vanishes without warning—prompting concerns of foul play, mental breakdown, or worse. As Dollar digs deeper, he encounters Case’s alluring young wife, a controlling lawyer friend, and a sea of conflicting motives. The case takes an unexpected turn when a ransom call suggests kidnapping, but the scheme begins to unravel under scrutiny. A cryptic trail of deception leads to a quiet sanitarium outside White Plains, where a battered, amnesiac man claiming to be “Mr. White” awaits. In a gripping finale, Dollar uncovers the truth about Case’s disappearance, confronting questions of identity, trust, and escape in this psychologically complex episode of Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar.
