The Chinese Parrot is a 1926 mystery novel by Earl Derr Biggers and the second book in the Charlie Chan series. It follows the famous Chinese-Hawaiian detective, Charlie Chan, as he investigates a complex case involving murder, deception, and hidden identities.
Charlie Chan travels from Honolulu to California to deliver a valuable string of pearls to a wealthy buyer. However, things take a dark turn when a murder occurs at a remote ranch, and Chan must use his keen intellect to unravel a web of lies, secret identities, and hidden motives. The story is notable for its Western setting, a departure from the usual Hawaiian backdrop, and its blend of classic detective elements with adventure.
This book helped cement Charlie Chan as a literary icon, leading to later novels and film adaptations.
