Forgery is a novel written by William Allen Pinkerton, first published in 1905. The story revolves around the main character, John Hornby, who is a young man from a wealthy family. He is accused of forging a check and is sent to prison for five years. During his time in prison, he meets other prisoners and learns about their stories and struggles. After serving his sentence, Hornby is released and tries to start a new life. However, he finds it difficult to escape his past and the stigma of being a convicted forger. He struggles to find work and is constantly reminded of his crime. As the story unfolds, Hornby finds himself caught up in a web of deceit and betrayal. He becomes involved with a group of criminals who are planning a major forgery scheme. Hornby is torn between his desire to start anew and his attraction to the thrill of the criminal underworld. Forgery is a gripping tale of crime, punishment, and redemption. It explores the themes of social class, morality, and the consequences of one's actions. Pinkerton's writing style is engaging and the story is full of twists and turns that keep the reader on the edge of their seat.
