Description
Sax Rohmer wrote this 1916 volume of hitherto unpublished adventures of Dr. Fu-Manchu, called The Devil Doctor. Chapters include a midnight summons, Eltham vanishes, the wire jacket, the cry of a nighthawk, and the white peacock. The narrator, a doctor, follows Fu-Manchu's plots through London.
A false summons at one in the morning leads across a moon-bright common, where a French maid's charm and a false address at Rectory Grove raise suspicion. No living soul stirs, yet a warning voice speaks within. Readers get classic pulp villainy, exotic menace, and Edwardian detective thrills.
