Clues of the Caribbees: Being Certain Criminal Investigations of Henry Poggioli, Ph.D.

This collection contains five of Dr. Poggioli's remarkable adventures in Curacao, Haiti, Martinique, Barbados and Trinidad. Dr. Poggioli's unorthodox crime-solving methods, trial and error inspirations and deductions--start from the smallest clues and lead into conclusions that would be impossible to imagine at the beginning: a Venezuelan daughter cleanlier than the Dutch, musical notations of the tunes an unknown man sings, the importance of the color white, six men dreaming almost the same dream, These and others help solve crimes of revenge, murder, bank robbery, mutilation, and the occult. In "The Governor of Cap Haitien," Pogglioli serves as "the great American voodoo inspector." And the famous "A Passage to Benares," applauded through many anthologies, contains one of the most powerful and spectacular endings in American literature.
