Shanghai Jim

Four hard–bitten tales of the old Asian tropics, where fortunes are won at knife–point and the law runs no deeper than the tide.

In “Shanghai Jim,” a young American drifts through the Eastern underworld with three great pearls in his pocket and a score to settle against the most feared half–caste killer in the ports. In “The Mandarin’s Hoard,” a castaway learns the secret of a legendary Chinese treasure from a dying man, only to be framed for murder by the rivals racing him to it. In “The Marauder,” a steamer’s chief officer is dragged into the black water when a phantom sailing ship rams his vessel, and wakes a prisoner among pirates. In “The Impostor,” the lone survivor of a fever–stricken barque claws his way back to civilization—and is branded a liar who must prove he is the man he claims to be.

Adventure, treachery, and hard–earned love, told in the full–blooded style of classic pulp.
