Summary "The White Lie" by William Le Queux is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious death of Richard Harborne, a former naval officer whose life post-retirement is shrouded in intrigue and ambiguity. The main character, Lieutenant Noel Barclay of the Naval Flying Corps, seeks to uncover the truth behind Harborne’s demise while navigating themes of secrecy, betrayal, and unwarranted love. The opening of the book introduces the circumstances surrounding Richard Harborne’s death, which is discovered under suspicious conditions after he had been seen in the company of a mysterious woman. Lieutenant Barclay discusses the peculiarities of Harborne’s secretive lifestyle with a local landowner, hinting at the possibility of a conspiracy. As they delve deeper into the investigation, Barclay learns that Harborne had been living an adventurous but enigmatic life across Europe before his untimely demise. This initial chapter sets the stage for a thrilling exploration of mystery and romance, as it intertwines personal relationships with broader societal issues amidst the tensions of the World War era.
