Charlie Chan Carries On

E. D. Biggers’s novels are close in spirit, manner of presentation, careful detailing, and respect for the laws of the detective genre to the great works of Edgar Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Agatha Christie.

This book tells how, thanks to Tony, a talking Chinese parrot, the police managed to stop a gang of swindlers from seizing the valuables of one major financier.
