About this book
The third Charlie Chan mystery, published in 1928, moves the Honolulu detective to San Francisco just as he is longing to sail home. There Sir Frederic Bruce, a retired Scotland Yard man, is shot dead in a downtown office, and the killing reopens a case he never solved: the vanishing of Eve Durand from an Indian hill station years before, and an old London murder tied to it by a pair of Chinese velvet slippers. Reluctantly, Chan postpones his passage to untangle a crime whose threads reach across continents and sixteen years. Biggers keeps the puzzle tight and the detective's quiet humor intact, and holds the answer behind that curtain until the very end.
