1976

The Money Doubler (1976) is a novel about a trickster who convinces people to part with their cash on the promise that he will be able to use "African science" to double it. It also explores Liberian life from a realist perspective. Moore uses Liberian English in all the dialogue of the novel.

1968

Moore had continued his writing. In 1968 he published his first novella, Murder in the Cassava Patch, based on actual events. It was highly popular, securing Moore's reputation as Liberia's best-known writer.
