Summary

"Code" by L. Paul is a crime story set in the late 1920s about the ship "Cora" and its involved crew. The ship's voyage becomes a dangerous game of cat and mouse when stolen jewels, lies, and a possible murder put everyone on edge with fear of Scotland Yard. Drake, seemingly a passenger, goes aboard the "Cora" only to immediately sense the hidden agendas, especially those connected to a big jewel theft. Amidst the rising suspicion among the passengers - like a strange engineer and a reserved Quayle - Drake realizes he's not alone in concealing his true self. The story intensifies as Drake attempts to solve lies and uncover the truth while going up against the sly wireless operator, Cray, and the exhausted captain, Bain, concluding with a suspenseful solution that reveals the complex web of crime on the ship.
