Behind That Curtain (1928) is the third novel in the Charlie Chan
series of mystery novels by Earl Derr Biggers. It is set almost
exclusively in California (as opposed to Chan's native Hawaii), and
tells the story of the former head of Scotland Yard, a detective
who is pursuing the long-cold trail of a murderer. Fifteen years
ago, a London solicitor was killed in circumstances in which the
only clue was a pair of Chinese slippers, which he apparently
donned just before his death. Sir Frederic Bruce has been following
the trail of the killer ever since. He has also been interested in
what appears to be a series of disappearing women around the world,
which has some connection to the disappearance of a woman named Eve
Durand in rural India also fifteen years ago. Just when it seems he
might finally solve the murder case, at a dinner party to which a
number of important and mysterious guests have been invited,
Inspector Bruce is killed - and was last seen wearing a pair of
Chinese slippers, which have vanished. It is left to Chan to solve
the case and tie up all loose ends. (wikipedia.org)
