The Charlie Chan Collection - Volume II. (The Black Camel - Charlie Chan Carries On - Keeper of the Keys) by Earl Derr Biggers Pdf

This collection of early work by Earl Derr Biggers was originally published between 1929 and 1932 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. “The Charlie Chan Collection - Volume II” contains the final three colourful tales of Charlie Chan. In “The Black Camel” we are introduced to Hollywood star (Shelah Fane), who is stopping in Hawaii after she finished shooting a film on location in Tahiti. She is murdered in the pavilion of her renter house in Waikiki during her stay. In “Charlie Chan Carries On,” Chan takes the place of Inspector Duff, a Scotland Yard detective and friend of Chan's, who is injured whilst pursuing a murderer on an around-the-world voyage. “Keeper of the Keys” is the sixth and final mystery novel in the Charlie Chan series. The setting of the novel is rural California, where Chan has been invited as a houseguest. Earl Derr Biggers was born on 26th August 1884 in Warren, Ohio, USA. Biggers received his further education at Harvard University, where he developed a reputation as a literary rebel, preferring the popular modern authors, such as Rudyard Kipling and Richard Harding Davis to the established figures of classical literature. While on holiday in Hawaii, Biggers heard tales of a real-life Chinese detective operating in Honolulu, named Chang Apana. This inspired him to create his most enduring legacy in the character of super-sleuth Charlie Chan. Biggers wrote six Chan novels in total and all were licensed for movie adaptations by Fox Films. These films were hugely popular with several different actors taking the lead role of Chan. They were even a success in China where the appeal of a character from the country being the hero instead of the villain appealed to film-goers. Eventually; over 40 films were produced featuring the character. Biggers only saw the early on-screen successes of Charlie Chan due to his death at the age of only 48 from a heart attack in April 1933.

The Complete Charlie Chan - Six Unabridged Novels, the House Without a Key, the Chinese Parrot, Behind That Curtain, the Black Camel, Charlie Chan Car by Earl Derr Biggers Pdf

Charlie Chan is a Chinese Hero, solving mysteries with wit and courage. Biggers created the character because he disliked the negative stereotypes around Asian people at the time. S. T. Karnick writes in the National Review that Chan is "a brilliant detective with understandably limited facility in the English language [whose] powers of observation, logic, and personal rectitude and humility made him an exemplary, entirely honourable character. The books have been adapted to television and film, creating characters and stories that adults and children alike love. This Omnibus Edition of the six Charlie Chan Novels is a must-read for every Charlie Chan fan: The House Without a Key (1925), The Chinese Parrot (1926), Behind that Curtain (1928), The Black Camel (1929), Charlie Chan Carries On (1930), Keeper of the Keys (1932)

Keeper of the Keys by Earl Derr Biggers Pdf

In the 6th and final book in the mystery series featuring the Chinese-American detective Charlie Chan, we find our hero in Lake Tahoe, California. Chan has been invited as a house guest. He meets a glamorous Out of Printera singer, Ellen Landini, and she is murdered by a gunshot during a party. Her servants and four of her ex-husbands are suspects in the case, all with weak alibis. It is up to Chan to solve the murder. The clues are cryptic and misleading by nature: the singer's own revolver, two scarves, two cigarette boxes with mismatched lids, and the actions of a little dog named Trouble. Part of the solution to the mystery involves an elderly Chinese servant named Ah Sing--the keeper of the keys. Chan solves the case in his usual understated, spectacular fashion.

Behind That Curtain and the Black Camel by Earl Derr Biggers Pdf

Two classic mysteries for Charlie Chan to solve In this, the second volume of Leonaur's Charlie Chan series, the famous Chinese-Hawaiian detective finds himself grappling with the puzzle that lies 'Behind that Curtain'-the third of the six original novels by Earl Derr Biggers. Years ago in far away England, a solicitor is found murdered wearing silk Chinese slippers. Then a detective investigating a long cold case is also discovered murdered-wearing the same slippers! And what does this have to do with five missing young women? In Charlie Chan's fourth outing-The Black Camel-the 'camel', or death itself according to the Chinese proverb, has 'knelt by the gate' of a glamorous Hollywood actress who is visiting Honolulu. More accurately, she has been murdered-stabbed through the heart-and Inspector Chan must unravel the web of secrets and intrigue that surrounds her and the colourful cast of characters of her entourage-any one of whom could be a killer! These new editions of one crime fiction's most iconic detectives allow readers to join Charlie Chan as he creates progeny and triumphs of detection with equally inscrutable aplomb.
