About this book
The novel that introduced Charlie Chan, published in 1925, opens with a proper young Bostonian, John Quincy Winterslip, arriving in Honolulu to fetch an aunt and instead finding his cousin Dan killed in a beachfront house. The local police send a stout, courteous detective of the Honolulu force, Charlie Chan, whose patience and shrewd eye gradually untangle a killing rooted in old scandals and buried history. Around the mystery Biggers sets Boston reserve against the warmth and pull of the islands, and lets his young hero grow up in the bargain. Chan, based on a real Honolulu policeman, would go on to headline five more novels and a long run of films.
