The Daughter of Huang Chow is a detective novel by Sax Rohmer, first published in 1928. The story follows the adventures of Inspector John Warwick, a British detective who is sent to China to investigate the murder of a wealthy businessman. Along the way, he meets the beautiful and mysterious Ming Li, the daughter of the victim, who becomes a key suspect in the case.As Warwick delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of deceit and intrigue involving opium smuggling, secret societies, and corrupt officials. With the help of Ming Li and his Chinese assistant, Warwick must navigate the treacherous streets of Shanghai and outsmart his enemies to solve the case.The Daughter of Huang Chow is a thrilling and suspenseful tale of murder and intrigue set against the exotic backdrop of 1920s China. Rohmer's vivid descriptions of the city and its inhabitants bring the story to life, and his intricate plot keeps readers guessing until the very end. This classic detective novel is a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone interested in the history and culture of China.Many of the larger pieces about the place contained drawers and cupboards, and these he systematically opened one after another, without making any discovery of note. Some of the cupboards contained broken pieces of crockery, and more or less damaged curios of one kind and another, but none of them gave him the clue for which he was seeking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
