In The Chinese Parrot, the second novel in the beloved Charlie Chan series, the astute detective is drawn into a knot of perplexing events when a famed singer disappears during a transcontinental flight and reappears at a luxury resort under mysterious circumstances. Strange clues and conflicting accounts compel Chan to separate fact from fiction in a case that spans both the glittering social scene and the shadows beneath it. Earl Derr Biggers blends classic detective structure with vivid characters and atmospheric settings, crafting a story that keeps readers engaged from the first revelation to the surprising conclusion. With sharp deduction, cultural contrasts, and a cast of intriguing suspects, The Chinese Parrot exemplifies the appeal of early American mystery fiction and highlights the clever mind of one of the genre's pioneering sleuths.
This Impact Books edition brings back into print this classic Golden Age mystery for modern readers who appreciate traditional whodunits, memorable detectives, and richly imagined mystery narratives.
