Charlie Chan-the famous and popular Chinese-Hawaiian police
detective-has entertained his audience through several different
mediums, from the written word to the movie screen, A number of
authors have turned their pens to the character, but, in fact,
Charlie Chan appeared originally in just six novels written by Earl
Derr Biggers between 1925 and 1932. It is these colourful tales of
the original Charlie Chan that comprise the Leonaur collection of
three volumes-this volume contains the first two novels. In The
House Without a Key we are introduced to Chan, a corpulent father
of nine, as he uses all his considerable faculties to solve the
mystifying case of a murdered father and a missing jewel box. In
The Chinese Parrot, Chan dons a disguise and goes undercover to
solve a complex triple intrigue involving a fake identity, a
kidnapping and a murder. These wonderful examples of twentieth
century detective fiction bring the world of 1920s Hawaii to
vibrant life once again-and richly deserve their classic status.
