| Plot Summary of Iron Coffin |
|---|
" A German U-boat, damaged by patrol bombers off Cuba, limps northward through the Gulf of Mexico to the deep bayous of coastal Louisiana, there to seek shelter and effect repairs with the help of an isolated clan of Cajun trappers. Nazi gold can buy help in escaping back to occupied Europe, but at the hands of the Cajun's dangerous leader, gold can also buy betrayal...."
Alan Duffy, a NYC attorney, Resident Scholar
