CAB Comment––“The Return Of Dr. Fu Manchu” is the second novel in the iconic series and is even better than its predecessor, “The Insidious Dr. Fu-Manchu”. The story introduces the infamous and stunning Oriental siren that is the daughter of Fu-Manchu, Kâramanèh. Also simply known as Kara, she quickly becomes a magnet for the passion for or hero Dr. Petrie. And, of course, all hell breaks loose once again. Printed in November 1918, this edition is in excellent condition, and I love the Chinese logogram featured on the cover. Dive into the mirky underbelly of London in the early 19-teens and enjoy!
“The Return Of Dr. Fu Manchu”––Synopsis:
“London, 1913—the era of Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, and the Invisible Man. A time of shadows, secret societies, and dens filled with opium addicts. Into this world comes the most fantastic emissary of evil society has ever known... Dr. Fu-Manchu. The insidious doctor returns to Great Britain with his league of assassins, the dreaded Si-Fan. He seeks to subvert the realm at the highest levels, but Fu-Manchu has his own secrets—which he will protect by any means.”

BOOK PHOTOS: All book pictures are taken in bright white LED photo light, and thus brightness, contrast, and colors of books may appear more intense in photos than in person in the warmer incandescent lamp light of your home. In simpler terms, your new vintage books will fit right in with your cozy abode.
Please remember: All books offered by Texas POEtrope are in need of a loving new home, and (other than C.A. Broadstone autographed works) have had previous owners, resulting in relative wear. Thus, some books possess more interesting scars telling of their journey through the world, and life, than others. Please study book pictures closely to be sure the book(s) shown are for you.
