Sobre este e-book
Honolulu detective Charlie Chan goes undercover in the California desert in this classic mystery adventure.
The transfer of a valuable string of pearls from Hawaii to California draws Honolulu detective Charlie Chan into the orbit of an eccentric financier with a penchant for exotic pets. When he encounters a Chinese-speaking parrot, Chan is intrigued by the provocative and dangerous question it asks. And when the bird mysteriously dies, Chan is determined to discover the answer.
Going undercover as a cook, the famous sleuth uncovers a series of crimes in the second Charlie Chan mystery by Earl D. Biggers. First published in 1926, The Chinese Parrot was adapted into the 1927 silent film The Chinese Parrot, and the 1934 film Charlie Chan’s Courage.Sobre o autor
