First published in 1919, this novel by Sax Rohmer focusses on the drug culture prevalent in London society post WW1. It is excellently written and the plot is superb. This is the first in the "Red Kerry" series, and his character is exceptional. Rohmer is the author of the "Fu Manchu" series.
Rating: 4+ stars
