Private detective Sam Spade practically died, many times over, running after The Maltese Falcon. But what Spade encountered in pursuit of the black parrot was child's play compared to what Lieutenant Costs Mahone of Naval Intelligence endures when he models out to find The Green God. He's tortured with knives, threatened with a sluggish, painful fatality, and buried alive. And things get really nasty. The entire Chinese city of Tientsin is under siege from within - the avenues filled up with rioting, arson, mass looting, and murder. And everything because the city's sacred idol, The Green God, has gone missing. Mahone's confident he is aware of who stole the deity of jade, diamond jewelry, and pearls. To get it, though, he'll have to go undercover and underground. But he's walking a razor's border - between worship and warfare, between a touch of heaven and a flavour of bloody hell. As a man, Hubbard visited Manchuria, where his closest good friend headed up United kingdom intelligence in north China. Hubbard gained a unique insight in to the intelligence functions and spy-craft in your community, as well as the criminal trade in sacred things. It was upon this experience that he established "The Green God", which was his first professional sale, published in February, 1934 - the beginning of a very amazing and prolific writing career. Also includes the adventure "Five Mex for a Million", where an American Military captain, falsely accused of murder, locates himself taking on the Chinese government, a robust Russian general, and a mysterious, unexpected passenger.
