EAST OF SINGAPORE by Frederick Nebel
East of Singapore provided a rare opportunity to see Black Mask writer Frederick Nebel applying his talents to exotic adventure in the Far East. That Nebel wrote such tales was only natural, because when this one first appeared, as "Somewhere East of Singapore," in the July 1926 issue of Action Stories, the market for adventure stories was much larger than that for mysteries.
Our hero here is Jack Berk, a one-time engineering student who fought with Teddy Roosevelt on San Juan Hill, traveled the jungles of the Amazon, and finally signed on to build a bridge in New Guinea. When the bridge project flopped, he found himself adrift in the East, and made his way to Singapore, where this adventure begins.
Jack and Marty, now a team, discover that the lady - a looker named June Starr - is on the hunt for a treasure in lost jewels, and the three join forces to go after it. Together, they plunge into the dark heart of Borneo, battling Malay warriors and secret society killers every step of the way. Along with the action, Nebel delivers plenty of exotic atmosphere, so we never forget we're in the Far East, and not on the mean streets of a noirish American city.
Want a copy of East of Singapore? I don't blame you. But they're hard to come by these days. Thanks to Tom Roberts, though, the story is still in print, as the lead-off adventure in the Black Dog collection Empire of the Devil. Along with this tale, you also get seven other Nebel adventures, and the most detailed Nebel bibliography ever assembled. Empire of the Devil is one the many fine Black Dog books available HERE.

I've liked what Nebel I've seen, and should check this out (at least the collection, though the chapbook cover does seem to have a firm grip on period details, among other personal things).
My own not quite nostalgic post is up for the week, as well...
Thanks so much, Dave.
Dave -
Will you please amend my entry in the list? This week's FFB is The Desert Moon Mystery by Kay Cleaver Strahan.
I just finished editing it and posted it a few minutes ago.
Thanks.

Got it, John!
"East of Singapore" sounds like an interesting story and I liked the covers too, though I haven't read too many novels based in the Far East. Many thanks for adding my post, Dave.
Thanks for including me in the round up Evan - I've amended my post accordingly.
Thanks for doing FFB this week, Evan. Yes, this is a good one, for sure.

giving us something enlightening to read?

Pop the battery ribbon connector out and remove the battery,
again held in with a dab of glue. Continually letting a battery drain will make it
die much faster then it normally would. While the
older 17 inch Mac - Book Pros lack the benefits of the unibody design, they do have the added feature of user-replaceable batteries.

I am new to building websites and I was wondering if having your site title related to your content really that critical?
I see your title, "Blogger: Davy Crockett's Almanack of Mystery, Adventure and The Wild West " does appear to be spot
on with what your website is about yet, I prefer to keep my title
less content descriptive and based more around site branding.
Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea?
Any kind of assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Today, I went to the beach with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
"You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!
