Publisher's Synopsis
Charlie Chan is once again!
The witty, chubby Chinese Detective of the Honolulu Police Department is featured in a sizzling six-volume series by Earl Derr Biggers that is getting reprinted.
Through his skillful descriptions of the city's surroundings and its mixed-ethnic communities, Biggers brings Honolulu to life. Also, by presenting the good aspects of Chinese-Hawaiian culture through the creation of Inspector Chan, Biggers breaks preconceptions and is innovative for his period.
Chan helps an aristocratic Boston family in need in his debut book, published in 1925. The family is in trouble because of what happened to Dan Winterslip, the family's black sheep who resides in a home on Waikiki Beach that has no key.
The issues start when a young nephew is sent away
The troubles begin when a young nephew is dispatched by the family in Boston to retrieve a wayward aunt who has overstayed her welcome in Dan Winterslip's house.
