    About this ebook

    To steal a Caribbean inheritance, an American impersonates a prodigal son. Though his name is Duncan Ward, he lands in Barbados with a passport reading 'Jim MacQuade.' The MacQuade family meets him at the airport with open arms, welcoming home the son who left the Caribbean over a decade earlier. Duncan knows Jim from college, and over the years has accumulated enough details of the MacQuade plantation to carry off the fraud. Old John MacQuade is near death, and Duncan hopes to win Jim's piece of the disintegrating family fortune.

    Expecting a broken-down, heavily mortgaged farm, he finds a thriving business, one that is valuable enough for his supposed family to be on their guard. Someone has already tried to poison the old man in an attempt to kill him before he changes the will in Jim's favor. If Duncan is found out, the family may not be amused by his lie.

    George Harmon Coxe

    George Harmon Coxe (1901–1984) was an early star of hard-boiled crime fiction, best known for characters he created in the seminal pulp magazine Black Mask. Born in upstate New York, he attended Purdue and Cornell Universities before moving to the West Coast to work in newspapers. In 1922 he began publishing short stories in pulp magazines across various genres, including romance and sports. He would find his greatest success, however, writing crime fiction. In 1934 Coxe, relying on his background in journalism, created his most enduring character: Jack “Flashgun” Casey, a crime photographer. First appearing in “Return Engagement,” a Black Mask short, Casey found success on every platform, including radio, television, and film. Coxe’s other well-known characters include Kent Murdock, another photographer, and Jack Fenner, a PI. Always more interested in character development than a clever plot twist, Coxe was at home in novel-writing, producing sixty-three books in his lifetime. Made a Grand Master of the Mystery Writers of America in 1964, Coxe died in 1984.
