Another (The Cap, the Blade or the Gun -- 1961) history-mystery, this is set to the Revolution when Tery Amity Mallam, to protect her Southern inheritance from the new nation, persuades a relative, Simon Mallam, to marry her. Two deaths accompany the secret wedding; she is pursued by family to the estates in Jamaica but through the protertion of Simon, on a secret mission for the Colonials, the murders and her wealth are finally cleared and she is won over to the new country. Atmosphere balances action here.
