Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Spencer Gore, Robert Bevan and Harold Gilman. A man dies gasping the words fire-tongue, and Paul Harley of Chancery Lane follows the phrase to a household in Surrey and a cult that reaches back to India. Rohmer created Fu Manchu and made a fortune from him across some forty books and films; this 1921 mystery runs the familiar machinery of the mysterious East, and the reader should see it working and judge it. Whistler and Grimshaw lead sixty plates of docks and night streets, the London and waterfront atmosphere this chase from Chancery Lane to Surrey needs.
