Bump. Should I close this query if it falls off the first page a third time?
"As long as I have my comrades with me, I can do anything!" (She/Her) (Current Focus: Cleaning Hell Is That Noise misuse)
I was going to see if one of the books in the Diamond Brothers series had an example of a coded message, but I forgot which one.
I remember one scene in which someone was given a letter that seemed innocuous, with "Ma" talking about how things are going. It began "Bad news, I'm afraid." and said something about the recipient's granddad being in hospital, if I recall correctly. However, it turned out that the first letter of every other word created a message when they were put together. Said message was something along the lines of "BIG ED TAKING OVER, COME HOME AT ONCE." I also remember that the titular brothers were in police custody, but I might be conflating it with my memory of another book since they frequently ended up there, at least once for wasting police time.
It's definitely not "I Know What You Did Last Wednesday" since the brothers never got arrested in that book.
