Overview

When a dead man's alibi turns into a trail of poison, cobras and coffin-swapped gold, Jimmy Wentworth walks the razor's edge between Chinatown's ancient rites and modern bloodshed. This hardboiled detective collection gathers the savage, breathless Chinatown cases-mussel poisonings, spitting cobras, bee-torture, and a Federal Reserve heist-where opium kings, tong hatchetmen, and a single relentless sergeant collide. From neon bazaars to secret underground caverns, Wentworth's gritty private investigator instincts and intimate knowledge of Chinese customs expose a ruthless kingpin known only as Kong Gai. Fans of classic pulp noir, vintage crime fiction, and detective mysteries will devour this crime thriller anthology that reads like a lost slice of 1930s noir. Packed with atmospheric period detail, sharp dialogue, and nonstop suspense, Volume 3 is essential for lovers of Chinatown noir, hardboiled detective stories, and true vintage pulp rediscoveries. Perfect for collectors and new readers alike, Sidney Herschel Small's Jimmy Wentworth delivers a lean, cinematic mystery series-blood-soaked, cunning, and unforgettable. Dive into the dark heart of the city and discover why the Brothers of the Snake still haunt the best crime fiction lists.
