Bottled Evidence

Aubrey St. John Major returns to the African veldt-grimmer, sharper, and more resourceful than ever. In Bottled Evidence: The Complete Adventures of the Major, Volume 7, L. Patrick Greene's soldier¿of¿fortune prowls hostile wastes, rigs clever traps, and unravels cunning deceptions with the steady aid of Jim the Hottentot at his side. These six stories mix blistering action with sly detective work and the wild unpredictability of the bush: a sudden squall that upends a camp, a mysterious vial that carries a verdict, a private bank with deadly ledgers, and schemes that force the Major to choose between guile and gun. For readers who crave classic pulp adventure-tight, atmospheric, and relentless-this volume restores Greene's tales in full for another round of danger, cunning, and frontier justice. This volume collects: "An Ill Wind," "Bottled Evidence," "The Fool, the Villain, the Hero," "The Major's Private Bank," "The Major Sets a Trap," and "Water."
