What is Dead Man's Chest about?

DEAD MAN'S CHEST was originally published in the Fall, 1948 issue of The Shadow Magazine. It's a tale of Cuban gold, lost for many years. The search for the gold also becomes a search for a killer, as men begin to die. Death from a knife thrust in the back, under impossible conditions. The Shadow must unravel the strange clue uttered by a dying sea captain, "Dead Man's Chest!" Our proxy hero is tall, rangy Doug Lawton of Oklahoma. He has come to New York to follow a clue to the location of lost Cuban gold. The gold was owed to his great-uncle since the time of the Spanish-American War. It was lost under strange circumstances, and young Doug is in New York following a years-old trail. A sinister message tells him to visit the waterfront and listen for tugboat whistles. The whistles will form a code that will lead him to information about the lost gold. He hears the whistles in the dark, he follows the coded instructions, and finds Tom Jeffrey, a tattoo artist with information. But before Jeffrey can impart his vital information, he is murdered right in front of young Doug Lawton. Murdered by a knife in the back. Yet no one else is in the tattoo artist's studio. But Doug Lawton isn't
