More Charlie Chan releases

Academy Chicago re-releases the next two titles in the Charlie Chan Mystery Series. Available now: Behind That Curtain, The Black Camel, The House With a Key and The Chinese Parrot.

In the third installment, BEHIND THAT CURTAIN, Charlie Chan finds himself back in San Francisco working with an inspector from Scotland Yard to investigate a series of murders in which each victim is found wearing ominous Chinese slippers.

In THE BLACK CAMEL, Charlie Chan is aided by a mysterious fortune teller named Tarneverro the Great to solve the murder of a glamorous Hollywood movie star who has been killed on location in Honolulu.

The two remaining Charlie Chan novels, Charlie Chan Carries On and Keeper of the Keys, will be published this fall by Academy Chicago.

Besides being fun books to read, Academy Chicago does a great job with the covers and format. They're lovely books to hold in your hand. Comments, Kindle folks? Not sure it's the same. In any case, Biggers was a great plotter, and you'll really get into the puzzles in each story. I particularly like the settings, and I look forward to re-reading Behind That Curtain, set in my home town.
