false 2353334 2 Charlie Chan-the famous and popular Chinese-Hawaiian police detective-has entertained his audience through several different mediums, from the written word to the movie screen, A number of authors have turned their pens to the character, but, in fact, Charlie Chan appeared originally in just six novels written by Earl Derr Biggers between 1925 and 1932. It is these colourful tales of the original Charlie Chan that comprise the Leonaur collection of three volumes-this volume contains the first two novels. In The House Without a Key we are introduced to Chan, a corpulent father of nine, as he uses all his considerable faculties to solve the mystifying case of a murdered father and a missing jewel box. In The Chinese Parrot, Chan dons a disguise and goes undercover to solve a complex triple intrigue involving a fake identity, a kidnapping and a murder. These wonderful examples of twentieth century detective fiction bring the world of 1920s Hawaii to vibrant life once again-and richly deserve their classic status. 2360056 18 7 2007 Charlie Chan Volume 1-The House Without a Key & The Chinese Parrot: Two Complete Novels Featuring the Legendary Chinese-Hawaiian Detective (Charlie Chan) total:4|5:3|4:1| 4 19 7 1 4 0 false false Mon Feb 16 19:34:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 08:32:51 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 16 19:34:00 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 09 12:17:50 -0700 2009 Sun Aug 09 12:17:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Aug 05 14:08:54 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 14:08:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 10 18:35:49 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 10 18:35:49 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Thu Sep 04 15:34:55 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 04 15:34:59 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Feb 22 04:09:37 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 22 04:09:37 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Jan 31 10:51:10 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 10:51:10 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=2353334
