      Dark Shanghai

      2015

      ISBN 978-963-522-532-3

      THE FIRST MAN I MET, when I stepped offa my ship onto the wharfs of Shanghai, was Bill McGlory of the Dutchman, and I should of took this as a bad omen because that gorilla can get a man into more jams than a Chinese puzzle. He says: Well, Steve, what do we do for entertainment—beat up some cops or start a free-for-all in a saloon?
