AN INCH OF TIME
By
Heroin hidden in jade sends jade dealer Paul Cortland on the trail of the originators and origin of the drugemuggling and lands him in Northwest China in the company of several unusual characters, and an American girl who apparently plays ball with the Japanese. America's entry into the war enables Paul to join forces with the guerilla Chinese, break up the smuggling route and untangle his love trouble. Out of the ordinary adventure tale, which should be sold to a double market, -- adventure-cum-mystery. Don't sidetrack as just another mystery.
