Dictators Die Hard

Published with "Evil Is the Night", by John Creighton. Murder was his law, larceny his coin. "You're our man. Find it!" This is what the bank president told Tom Henderson, private eye. "It" was two million dollars in gold that had disappeared twenty-five years ago in a revolution-racked Central American country, and had never been seen since. All other attempts to recover the lost treasure had ended in failure. Danger was no stranger to Tom, but he had never sat atop a live volcano before! His hunt took him south of the border where the secret of the gold triggered the convulsion between a power-hungry dictator and freedom-starved rebels. Tom knew he had to find the missing bright yellow loot before this volcano of fury exploded and became his private cemetery.
