Summary "The Gray Brotherhood" by Henry Leverage is a crime fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Chester Fay, an investigative journalist who becomes embroiled in a murder case linked to organized crime and an underground network involving ex-convicts. The plot centers around the mysterious death of a British dignitary, Putney Stephney, and the intricacies of crime intertwined with the world of the Gray Taxi Company, known for employing former convicts. In the novel, Chester Fay is summoned to investigate the death of Putney Stephney, who was discovered dead on a freight train in Poughkeepsie after arriving in New York City. As Fay delves into the case, he learns that Stephney was last seen getting into a gray taxi, and he must navigate a web of deception involving the taxi company's manager, Elsie De Groot, and the enigmatic owner, James Ponsardin. The narrative unfolds with Fay utilizing his resources from the Gray Brotherhood, a network of reformed criminals, to gather information and ultimately confront the killers. The story culminates in a dramatic confrontation that clears the names of the Gray Brotherhood while exposing the true criminals behind the murder, showcasing themes of redemption and the complexities of justice.
