When the radio operator on a luxury cruise ship is murdered, Lt. Valcour takes charge. While investigating the crew and the passengers, especially a lovely but lethal man-eater, the killer strikes again — and it's up to Valcour to solve the crimes before anyone else falls victim!
Rufus King (1893–1966) was an American author of Whodunit crime novels. He created four series of detective stories: the most famous being Lieutenant Valcour. Modern critics are rediscovering Rufus King's work. Mike Grost, on Golden Age Detective, features a long writeup of King, stating: «King had a vivid writing style, with colorful characters, events, and images. He was clearly a born writer.»
