Synopsis

Sensational mystery thriller, very popular in its day, about the harmful and curative properties of radium, with a "Yellow Peril" villain reminiscent of Fu Manchu (but Japanese) who has stolen radium to further his sinister plot. Combining the Yellow Peril threat with the contemporary fascination over the powers of radium, this was a possible precursor to the Fu-Manchu stories.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Tony! Gifford Ren wick entered the smoking room of the International Inquiry Bureau shaking the raindrops from his hat and coat. Tony Hackett, a small, cherubic man with wheat-red hair and uncertain eyes, was seated near the fire. Renwick swords caused a listening blindness to cloud his glance. He responded without looking up at the young man beside him. If I were to hazard a guess, Renwick, he said thoughtfully, I should say that your god will hate you like poison when youVe found him. Sit down and lets hear. Renwick sboyish face was flushed from the effects of some recent excitement; a nervous expectancy strained him to the point of laughter.
