Murder Challenges Valcour in the Lesser Antilles Case – Rufus King (1934)

I stumbled across this novel after reading a review over at Dead Yesterday.  I’m not sure that I’ve heard of Rufus King, but the book had a definite allure: a mystery involving diving in the West Indies.  I’m always down to shake things up, and some 1930’s undersea chicanery sounded interesting.  Plus hey, there’s a Dell map back edition of the book.  I couldn’t resist.

I should note that the story is actually called “The Lesser Antilles Case”, but my Dell edition trumpets “Murder Challenges Valcour”, and that’s the only title shown on the spine.  So I’m going to call it that.
