A King in Khaki

A battle for business and romance on a tropical isle. By years of grueling labor, Smith made a Caribbean island profitable and productive - but now New York wheeler-dealer Christopher Beaumont plots to deprive long-suffering investors of their rewards. Can Smith defeat Beaumont, keep his own self-respect, and win the love of Beaumont's sharp-witted, beautiful daughter? Webster, a popular author of the early 20th century, wrote short stories and novels with intriguing characters pursuing goals in unusual ways, sometimes in the business world.
