Chief Inspector Red Kerry makes his debut in the non-Fu Manchu book Dope, a Story of Chinatown. Kerry is a skilled police officer who used both brains and muscle to outwit and apprehend the criminals that pose a threat to his city and its residents. He has red hair and is a strong man physically (Rohmer plays up the description more than once during the book). He tolerates very little BS, even from his fellow cops. He has the support of his superiors since he is incorruptible and produces results.The UK did not have prohibition during the beginning of the 20th century, and people had the same glitzy lifestyle that Americans did before the Great Depression. Drugs and alcohol fueled the population growth. Kerry is attempting to uncover a mystery involving a mystic/drug dealer who becomes entangled in a web of desire and treachery.

The work of British writer Sax Rohmer (pseudonym of Arthur Sarsfield Ward, 1883-1959) was once immensely popular, but most of it has lapsed into oblivion-except his corpus of weird fiction. This volume features the best of his tales of horror and strangeness, culled from his numerous story collections from the 1910s and 1920s. The mystery of Egypt dominated Rohmer's imagination, and the volume Tales of Secret Egypt (1918) contains some of his best weird work, such as "The Whispering Mummy," "The Death-Ring of Sneferu," and "Lord of the Jackals," which may or may not involve the supernatural. "Tchériapin," Rohmer's finest weird tale, is authentically supernatural and even features a science-fictional undercurrent in its suggestion that a chemical formula can render any organic substance hard as diamonds. "The Curse of a Thousand Kisses" fuses horror and poignancy in its suggestion that a hideous old woman is the centuries-old Scheherazade, the victim of a curse. Sax Rohmer can take his place with H. Rider Haggard, Rudyard Kipling, and other writers who, while chiefly focusing on tales of adventure, was frequently inclined to incorporate terror and weirdness into his exciting narratives. His stories are as readable today as when they were first written.

"Fire-Tongue," he said. "Nicol Brinn."These are the last words of Sir Charles Abingdon, who was convinced he was being followed through the streets of London. Fortunately, the man who heard this his cryptic message was Paul Harley, an investigator Sir Charles hired to discover who was stalking him, who stole a manuscript from his study, and who called him away from his home on the night of his death. Paul Harley is no ordinary investigator. He'd done highly confidential work in the Near East and was "an unofficial field marshal of the forces arrayed against evildoers." But that's not the only characteristic that sets Harley apart -- he's guided by his sixth sense. "It was an evasive, fickle thing, but was nevertheless the attribute which had made him an investigator of genius." Harley will need all of his talents -- and his extra-sensory perception -- to solve the riddle of the Fire-Tongue.SAX ROHMER, born Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward in Birmingham, England, is best known as the creator of the Dr. Fu Manchu series of books, which also spawned movies, a TV series, a radio serial, and a Marvel comic. Besides his detective stories, Rohmer also wrote on occult themes in Brood of the Witch Queen, Grey Face, and The Green Eyes of Bast. He joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, whose other members included Aleister Crowley and William Butler Yeats.
