Murder in Havana
About this book
A young but rather tired American engineer who has been visiting the Caribbean islands on a mission for the United States Navy stops in Havana for a holiday before returning to Washington. There are still good drinks and high-stake gambling and lovely women and hot sunshine in Havana. But there are also refugees from all over the world stranded there, waiting for visas to enter America; and there are crooks and gunmen and spies.
With that colorful and exciting setting as his background, Coxe has created one of his finest murder-mystery stories-a yarn which moves all the time, involves interesting characters, and is built around a crime that is very real. It leads to a scene with a Nazi submarine captain that is one of the best things Coxe has ever done-which is saying a great deal about a writer whose works are read eagerly by thousands of mystery fans.
