About This Item

Colored private name plate FPD, slight toning, spine has been fully taped/repaired, else content appears as unread and unblemished with very good- black cloth covered boards displaying minor surface/edge wear.

This book is probably Sax Rohmer's most over the top novel, a mastermind controlling a vast criminal net-work in ever sector of American society, with what appear to be mobile phones, inter-active maps and computer keyboards, not bad for a novel published in 1927! Rohmer as usual has made his criminals here much more interesting than those solving the crimes and like so many of Rohmer's books this is clearly in sections of individual short stories and would have seen magazine publication as such, this means that the story jumps about abruptly more than it should do and makes the book end far too quickly in fact the end comes so quickly taking a couple of pages for what really needed at least a couple of chapters that it comes as a huge let down.
