The Gaston Max Mysteries by Sax Rohmer

THE GASTON MAX MYSTERIES follow the investigations of French detective Gaston Max and Scotland Yard's Inspector Dunbar, who work to solve several mysteries set in the opium dens and gritty underworld of early 20th-century London. In THE YELLOW CLAW, an illusive Chinese mastermind and his henchman have already killed one socialite and they hold a mysterious sway over many of London's elite. What is the secret of their power? Follow the trail with Gaston Max and Inspector Dunbar as they chase the international gang of hoodlums and their leader, the evil Dr. King. In THE GOLDEN SCORPION, a terrifying figure, in his monkish cowl and green veil, through which baleful eyes glittered haunts Dr. Stuart. The Scorpion takes the form of a golden fragment, innocent enough in appearance, but in fact the symbol of a band as malevolent and desperate as that of Fu-Manchu.
