Riassunto

London, 1913—the era of Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, and the Invisible Man. A time of shadows, secret societies, and dens filled with opium addicts. Into this world comes the most fantastic emissary of evil society has ever known... Dr. Fu-Manchu.

Denis Nayland Smith pursues his quarry across continents and through the back alleys of London. As victim after victim disappears at the hands of the Devil Doctor, Smith must unravel his murderous plot before it is too late. 

Includes a special feature by Leslie S. Kilnger

Recensione:

"Splendid stuff... Fu-Manchu is one of the most iconic characters of the 20th century and as much a household name Sherlock Holmes and James Bond." --Crime Time

"A gloriously tawdry, breathless, cheesy, addictive series now given a delightful new incarnation by London publisher Titan Books." --Open Letters Monthly

"The best description of this is probably pulp fiction at its pulpiest...personally, I'm anxiously awaiting the others in the series." --The Bookbag

"This is a wild ride read and I recommend it highly." --Vic'sMediaRoom

"This is an endlessly stimulating gothic cathedral of a novel, a world to wander in - surprised, affected, diverted and perplexed - for weeks on end." --Times Literary Supplement

"Fu Manchu is a master manipulator and a delightfully cunning villain. --Gutenbergs Son
