Edmund Snell wrote an almost uncountable number of stories for the pulps, many of them about exotic climes like Borneo.

Ramble House, in a fit of perverse nostalgia, decided to bring back three action-packed novels by James Corbett all at once, and MURDER BEGETS MURDER is the mystery of the group.

But read for yourself. This was the author's 43rd (and last book), published in 1951.
