Summary
After Captain Cy Martingale's boat is docked in Key West, a passenger is left behind-- not just dead drunk, but dead. Pat and Jean Abbott are in town for some rest and relaxation, but the captain is a friend and he wants their help. Unfortunately, what he wants help with is getting rid of the body, since he doesn't really trust the local police. Pat Abbott is not about to be an accessory to murder, so he turns to another kind of captain: his friend on the force in New Orleans. They'll have to debate their theories of the case before they can reel in the killer...
