“Also, about halfway through the story there’s a right-angle plot twist that would make Jeffrey Deaver proud, very effectively lulling readers in a false sense of security before shocking the heck out of them. A first-rate adventure yarn.�– Booklist, "Two escaped convicts, Paco Corvino and Lars Marlin, face off in Hubbard's fast-paced high seas action yarn, first published in the November 1937 issue of Argosy . Some years after Corvino andMarlin independently broke out of French Guiana's Devil's Island, the men meet by chance in Rio de Janeiro, where the debonair Corvino works as the steward of the Valiant, a luxury yacht due to set sail. Corvino persuades the Valiant's captain to hire Marlin, who's an experienced skipper, as part of the crew, unaware that Marlin blames his hellish stint on Devil's Island on his fellow escapee. Itching to take Corvino out with his trusty .38, Marlin, must bide his time as the equally dangerous Corvino fingers his knife. Contraband cargo (heroin) and the yacht owner's beautiful daughter add spice to this taut pulp melodrama." -Publishers Weekly, "Also, about halfway through the story there's a right-angle plot twist that would make Jeffrey Deaver proud, very effectively lulling readers in a false sense of security before shocking the heck out of them.

Synopsis
Lars Marlin has escaped from Devil?s Island and come face to face with the man who put him there?Paco Corvino. Now the two are off to sea serving on a luxury yacht. Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve ... and what killer cargo he?s hiding on board. But the yacht owner?s daughter is a beautiful?and dangerous?distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms ... or is she part of Corvino's plot?a trap set with honey?, If Lars Marlin had three wishes, two have already been granted: he has escaped from Devil's Island ... and he has come face to face with the man who put him there--Paco Corvino. But the third wish--putting a bullet in Corvino--will have to wait. Now the two are off to sea serving on a luxury yacht. Corvino is a convict, con-man and killer who has schemed his way into a position as chief steward on a yacht sailing out of Rio de Janeiro. And, in a twist as devious as it is diabolical, he's managed to install Lars--his hated rival--as captain of the very same vessel. And there are even darker twists to come.... Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve and what killer cargo he's hiding on board. But the yacht owner's daughter proves to be a beautiful--and dangerous--distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms or is she part of Corvino's plot--a deadly trap set with honey? Don't miss the boat--as Cargo of Coffins brings to vivid life this scintillating story of suspense and surprising revelations at sea. "One of Hubbard's most accomplished, even stylish stories ... a plot-twist that would make Jeffery Deaver proud ... brilliant." --Booklist, Two escaped convicts, Paco Corvino and Lars Marlin, face off in Hubbard's fast-paced high seas action yarn, first published in the November 1937 issue of Argosy. Some years after Corvino and Marlin independently broke out of French Guiana's Devil's Island, the men meet by chance in Rio de Janeiro, where the debonair Corvino works as the steward of the Valiant, a luxury yacht due to set sail. Corvino persuades the Valiant's captain to hire Marlin, who's an experienced skipper, as part of the crew, unaware that Marlin blames his hellish stint on Devil's Island on his fellow escapee. Itching to take Corvino out with his trusty .38, Marlin must bide his time as the equally dangerous Corvino fingers his knife. Contraband cargo (heroin) and the yacht owner's beautiful daughter add spice to this taut pulp melodrama. (July) Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved., If Lars Marlin had three wishes, two have already been granted: he has escaped from Devil?s Island ? and he has come face to face with the man who put him there?Paco Corvino. But the third wish?putting a bullet in Corvino?will have to wait. They?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. And, in a twist as devious as it is diabolical, he?s managed to install Lars?his hated rival?as captain of the very same vessel. And there are even darker twists to come.? Lars is determined to find out what Corvino has up his sleeve ? and what killer cargo he?s hiding on board. But the yacht owner?s daughter proves to be a beautiful?and dangerous?distraction. Will Lars be safe in her arms ? or is she part of Corvino?s plot?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: ?I 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!? And as Argosy gleefully responded in its pages: ?Next 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, ?Cargo of Coffins,? is due to appear in the November 13th issue, and a serial is likely to follow.?
