Cargo of Coffins (Mystery & Suspense Short Stories Collection)

Cargo of Coffins (Mystery & Suspense Short Stories Collection) (Golden Age Stories)

If Lars Marlin had three wishes, two have already been granted: he has escaped from Devilâ€™s Island . . . and he has come face to face with the man who put him thereâ€”Paco Corvino.Â But the third wishâ€”putting a bullet in Corvinoâ€”will have to wait.Â Theyâ€™re off to sea, and not since Fletcher Christian and Captain Bligh set sail on the Bounty have two more heated enemies been in the same boat.

Corvino is a convict, con-man and killer who has schemed his way into a position as chief steward on a luxury yacht sailing out of Rio de Janeiro.Â And, in a twist as devious as it is diabolical, heâ€™s managed to install Larsâ€”his hated rivalâ€”as captain of the very same vessel.Â And there are even darker twists to come. . . .

Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve . . . and what killer cargo heâ€™s hiding on board.Â But the yacht ownerâ€™s daughter proves to be a beautifulâ€”and dangerousâ€”distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms . . . or is she part of Corvinoâ€™s plotâ€”a deadly trap set with honey?

Like several leading writers of the day, L. Ron Hubbard was invited to Hollywood to write scripts, where his superior talent and productivity attracted numerous lucrative offers from the studios. But, as he wrote in a letter to the editor of Argosy magazine in August 1937: â€œI love to tie a yarn and try to make it blaze in print. The mags will never lose me to the movies. Never, at any salary!â€Â And as Argosy gleefully responded in its pages: â€œNext to exorcise the Hollywood virus from his veins was L. Ron Hubbard. . . . he has set to work to give Argosy some more of his rousing yarns. The first, â€˜Cargo of Coffins,â€™ is due to appear in the November 13th issue, and a serial is likely to follow.â€
