description: As he wrung the water from his clothes he discarded his memories one by one. As mate of the Rangoon he had been known as a bucko sailor a hard case who struck first and questioned afterward renowned for a temper as hot and swift as a glowing rapier.And the reputation had not helped him when the captain had been found dead in his cabin and when it was discovered that the safe was open and empty. Kurt Reid had been the last man to see the captain alive so they thought.Shanghai stretched before him and behind it lay all of China. If he could not escape there he thought he deserved to die. His only regret now was the lack of money he had been accused of stealing. A man does not go far on a few American dollars.Vividly written super-fast-paced. Ellery Queen
