On January 24, 1925, 'The Saturday Evening Post' began its
serialization of the book that would make Earl Derr Biggers famous:
The House Without a Key, the first of the Charlie Chan series.
Chan, the first Chinese detective in literature, was modeled after
Chang Apana, a real-life police detective in Honolulu. Earl Derr
Biggers ultimately wrote six Charlie Chan mystery novels: The House
Without A Key, The Chinese Parrot, Behind That Curtain, The Black
Camel, Charlie Chan Carries On, and Keeper of the Keys. Each of
these books is wonderfully told, and through the later films, radio
shows, comics, and television series, Charlie Chan became an
enduring popular figure.
