The series was extremely popular in the fist half of the 20th century. Besides the novels, there were comic strips, movies and a TV series. In this novel the Oriental villain Mr. King masterminds a plot to hold London's elite at his mercy. One person has died and other may soon follow.

Read This One Later,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Yellow Claw (Kindle Edition)
First, if you have never read Sax Rohmer before, DO NOT start with this one. Start with Rohmer's "The Green Eyes of Bāst" or "The Golden Scorpion" (free for Kindles). Although "The Yellow Claw" does have some interesting plot ideas, it does drag in spots; however, it makes up for it in the last third of the book. So, read this one (which has Rohmer's French detective, Gaston Max) later. Rohmer is most famous for creating the infamous character of Fu Manchu who later became even more famous in the black and white movies of the 30's. Fu Manchu was portrayed in various films by Boris Karloff in the 1930's. Several of the first Fu Manchu novels are also available for free on the Kindle or search out the actual books in used bookstores - they are worth the time to discover the great, intellectual (and stereotypical) evil genius who is Fu Manchu.
