"The White Cipher" by Henry Leverage is a crime novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Chester Fay, a skilled safecracker recently released from prison, who finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes game involving a secret cipher linked to German dyes and an urgent mission from Scotland Yard. As he navigates through a web of intrigue, deception, and past relationships, Fay must decide whether to cooperate with the authorities or return to his old criminal life. At the start of the novel, Chester Fay awakens in his prison cell after serving five years for a high-profile burglary. His unexpected release is facilitated by Inspector MacKeenon from Scotland Yard, who hints that Fay's talents are required for a mission involving a complicated cipher found in three locked boxes related to wartime dye production. With Saidee Isaacs, a significant figure from his past, re-entering the scene, Fay is drawn into a dangerous pursuit that leads him to confront personal and professional demons. The opening sets the stage for deceitful encounters, a potential double-cross, and the rekindling of old flames, as Fay is catapulted back into a life he thought he had left behind.
