Summary
(From the publisher):
Imagine a man more daring than Raffles, more adroit than Arsene Lupin, more powerful than any other criminal of history or romance - and you do not fully picture the diabolical genius of Fu Manchu. No other creature has ever possessed the evil ingenuity that actuates the Yellow Doctor.
Fu Manchu travels dark ways: his servants fear but dare not betray him; and his weapons are potent, terrible and strange. Against this man, almost invincible in his hatred of civilization, Nayland Smith and Dr. Petrie pit all the courage and resourcefulness they own. All the while, moving through their lives with a wistful and terrible charm, is a beautiful slave girl.
