Earl Derr Biggers - Fifty Candles by Earl Derr Biggers Pdf

Biggers had always been interested in mystery fiction, but his interest in Hawaii clearly stems from a 1919 vacation in Honolulu. While there, he read a newspaper article on a Chinese detective named Chang Apana. Apana would become the model for Charlie Chan in Biggers' 1925 novel, House Without a Key, and there quickly followed five more Charlie Chan novels. Fifty Candles -- first published in the Saturday Evening Post, just two years after that 1919 vacation -- shows how Hawaii, China, and murder had already begun to come together in Biggers' imagination. The story starts in a courthouse in Honolulu, moves to China, then to fog-shrouded San Francisco. Many of the elements used in the Charlie Chan series are present: Chinese characters (both sinister and sympathetic), the Honolulu legal system, a shrewd detective (in this case, the lawyer Mark Drew rather than a policemen), and a baffling murder complete with red herrings and plenty of suspects. Though Fifty Candles is a murder mystery, it is also a romance, with the romantic elements at times in the forefront. Mostly, though, it is a book that will delight Biggers' many fans as they trace the origins of Charlie Chan.

Little patches of snowsparkled in the late afternoon sun along the way, and far ahead snow-capped peakssuddenly stood out against the pale sky of a reluctant spring.Two conductors, traveling together as though for safety, came down the aisle and paused atsection seven. "Tickets on at Sacramento," demanded the leader. The occupant of thesection, a pretty blonde girl who seemed no more than twenty, handed him the small greenslips. He glanced at them, then passed one to his companion. "Seat in Seven," he said loudly."Reno.""Reno," echoed the Pullman conductor, in an even louder tone.They passed on, leaving the blonde girl staring about the car with an air that was a mixtureof timidity and defiance. This was the first time, since she had left home the day before, thatshe had been so openly tagged with the name of her destination.
