Review:

Four novellas/short stories from the master of nautical yarns.

“The Planter of Malata” is a dark psychological tale of passion and deception.

“The Partner” is an excellent tale of business treachery and scheming.

“The Inn of the Two Witches” is very reminiscent of Alamayer’s Folly or even Heart of Darkness. A boat with a low draft that can go upriver to remote villages, and solitary low characters hatching dire plots in their decrepit huts on the edge of the wilderness.
