Riassunto

Charlie Chan is back.
The Black Camel tells the story of a Hollywood star who is murdered in the pavilion of her rental house in Waikiki during her stay. The story behind her murder is linked with the three-year-old murder of another Hollywood actor and also connected with an enigmatic psychic named Tarneverro. Chan investigates.
Charlie Chan Carries On Inspector Duff, a Scotland Yard detective and friend of Chan's, is pursuing a murderer on an around-the-world voyage. While his ship is docked in Honolulu, the detective is shot and wounded by his quarry; though he survives, he is unable to continue with the cruise, and Chan takes his place instead. Chan must find the killer before the next port of call.
Keeper of the Keys Chan has been invited as a houseguest in rural California where he meets a world-famous soprano, Ellen Landini, who is murdered soon after. Chan does not have far to look for suspects―the host is her ex-husband, as are three of the other house guests. Chan has three clues―the actions of a little dog named Trouble, two scarves, and two little boxes―and he must solve the murder.

Informazioni sull'autore

Earl Derr Biggers was born in Warren, Ohio on August 24, 1884. Years later, while attending Harvard University, Biggers showed little passion for the classics, preferring instead writers such as Rudyard Kipling and Richard Harding Davis. Following his graduation from Harvard in 1907, he worked briefly for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and at Bobbs-Merrill publishers. By 1908, Biggers was hired at the Boston Traveler to write a daily humor column. Soon, however, he became that paper's drama critic. It was at this time that he met Elanor Ladd, who would later become his wife and who would have a marked influence in his writing. He is best know as the creator of Charlie Chan
