Overview: "…Early on, Tony Boucher was pointing out that quite a few science fiction stories deal with crime or contain a mystery to be solved by reasoning from clues. On that basis he persuaded the Mystery Writers of America, in which organization he was a leading light, to admit the authors to membership. For long years afterward, Karen and I found the meetings to be rewarding experiences. Tony also encouraged science fiction writers to work directly in the field.
The result for me was three novels and several short stories. The hero of most was Trygve Yamamura, Hawaiian-born to a Japanese-American father and a Norwegian mother, eventually a private detective in Berkeley, California. Skilled in martial arts, he never used violence except when there was absolutely no choice, and then only what he absolutely must, being a gentle soul as well as an incisive thinker…"

Trygve Yamamura
1. Perish by the Sword (1959) .PDF

3. Murder Bound (1962) .PDF
Crew members aboard the Norwegian freighter Valborg referred to the ghosts of men who had died at sea as “draugs.”
Conrad Lauring, the Valborg’s only passenger, didn’t put much stock in the seamen’s sinister tales – until that foggy night, two days out of San Francisco, when a Nazi fugitive, Benrud, is discovered masquerading as chief steward. In the battle to capture him, Benrud, armed with a deadly red fire ax, vanishes. A small twinge of fear lingers in the hearts of Lauring and the crew – for though Benrud is presumed drowned, no one had seen him fall overboard.
Later, on land, Lauring’s life is tormented by a faceless form – a man who drips seaweed, a man who whistles the Horst Wessel song, a man who carries a red fire ax. Is the specter lurking in Lauring’s hotel room really the “draug” of Benrud? Or is Benrud somehow still alive?
The suspense moves to a truly chilling climax in the ill-lit hold of the Valborg, when natural and seemingly supernatural forces meet and lock in deadly embrace.
