THE Sailcloth SHROUD: Stuart Rogers leaves Panama with two shipmates. for the perfect crime..
It\'s the perfect match....
That\'s where Jerry Forbes comes in-footloose, morally flexible, and completely obsessed with Marian.
All she needs is someone who sounds enough like Harris that he can become Harris long enough to pull it off.
And to that end, Marian creates a brilliant and detailed plan to steal $175,000 from him.
And now Harris must pay.
But Harris made a foolish mistake: he fell in love with a younger, prettier woman.
She assumed she would become his second wife.
As his private secretary, she advised him on his acquisitions, and turned him into a very wealthy man.
But if Baxter wasn\'t who he seemed to be, one thing Rogers knows for sure is that he\'s definitely dead-but who the hell was he? ALL THE WAY: Marian Forsyth made Harris Chapman the prosperous man he is today.
Neither do the goons who pick up Rogers one night to beat the truth out of him.
They don\'t believe that Baxter really died at sea.
Now the cops want to know where the money came from.
But as far as Rogers knew, Keefer was broke.
He had been seen flashing a lot of money around the night before.
Once they dock, the other man, Keefer, is fished out of the bay three days later after having been pistol-whipped to death.
One of them, Baxter, dies of a heart attack midway back to the States, and is buried at sea.
