The Smuggler and the Warlord

General
From KJ's site: Free read about Crane and Merrick’s life in China,  The Smuggler and the Warlord, which is chronologically first but probably more enjoyable once you know the characters.

Summary
In A Case of Possession, Merrick gives us a hint, he mentions a certain northern-Chinese warlord that Crane was ‘playing the fool with’…

KJ Charles has graciously shared a little tidbit with us, a little Chinese adventure featuring Crane and Merrick, and that mysterious warlord.
