A little about the story
An investigator and his companion face a series of threats associated with Fu Manchu, in an early twentieth-century adventure built around a recurring antagonist.
The investigator's account treats each new attack as evidence of a larger design. Its quick succession of incidents belongs to an adventure tradition in which the threat is built partly from prejudices that the period took for granted.
