1 | The Daughter of Haung Chow (Unabridged) | Sax Rohmer |
Award-winning audiobook narrator Mike Vendetti takes us into London's China Town of the early 20th century where the beautiful half cast daughter of Haung Chow tempts Detective John Durham. It's Durham's job to investigate the suspicious appearance of two bodies in the Thames. Both men had shady business dealings with old Haung, who was thought to be hoarding a treasure trove of wealth in his dwelling. Everyone who entered China Town who was not Chinese was an outsider, making Durham's job even more difficult. You will be amazed at what old Haung had hidden amongst his treasures. Arthur Henry Sarsfield Ward, AKA Sax Rohmer, created the master criminal Dr. Fu Manchu. Rhomer's portrayal of the Chinese was racist and condescending. Interestingly; Rohmer died from the Asian Flu in 1959. |
