Master of
Death --
death in
every form,
brutal,
mysterious
-- death of
the body and
death of the
mind and
soul.
That was Fu
Manchu, the
greatest
criminal
genius the
world has
ever known.
Subtly, his
world-wide
organization
has grown
and spread,
its
tentacles
reaching
into the
very
governments
and police
forces of
the West.
Only one man
knew the
full danger
of Fu
Manchu's
plan -- Sir
Denis
Nayland
Smith.
On him alone
depended the
fate of
Western
civilization
-- and Fu
Manchu had
marked him
for
extinction

Raffles,

than Arsene
Lupin, more
powerful
than any
other
criminal of
history or
romance --
and you do
not fully
picture the

genius of
Dr. Fu
Manchu.
No other
creature has
ever
possessed
the evil
ingenuity
that
actuates the
Yellow
Doctor.
Fu Manchu
travels dark
ways:
his servants
fear but
dare not
betray him;
and his
weapons are
potent,
terrible and
strange.
Against this
man, almost
invincible
in his
hatred of
civilization,
Nayland
Smith and
Dr. Petrie
pit all the
courage and
resoursefulness
they own.
All the
while,
moving
through
their lives
with a
wistful and
terrible
charm, is a
beautiful
slave girl

than ever

Fu Manchu,

The exotic
and

Fleurette --
raised from
birth to
carry on the
monstrous
line of the
emperor of
the
underworld
-- escapes
his grasp,
aided by
Alan
Sterling,
her fiance,
and Sir
Denis
Nayland
Smith,
England's
most
brilliant
detective.
Then begins
a gigantic
struggle,
for the
dread Manchu
does not
easily
relinquish
his plans.
Deep in the
bowels of
the earth
(far below
the level of
the Thames)
under Sam
Pak's, a
Limehouse
resort of
evil
reputation,
the sinister
Dr. Manchu
weaves the
net with
which he
intends to
recapture
Fleurette.
At the same
time, in a
huge and
grotesque
furnace, he
is
performing
some
fantastic
experiments,
the fires
for which
must be fed
with human
flesh! And
dwelling
with him in
his grotto
of horror is
his
fascinating
daughter,
Fah Lo Suee,
who has
fallen madly
in love with
Sir Denis.
The evil
doctor casts
his net, it
tightens --
and deposits
before the
maw of his
hungry
furnace the
trussed
figures of
Alan and Sir
Denis. There
they lie,
fuel for the
flames,
doomed to an
unspeakable
death. Then
Nayland
Smith plays
his last
trump -- and
the greatest
of all Fu
Manchu
stories
swings into
its
thrilling
climax.

President Fu
Manchu, The
-- #8-- Doubleday Crime Club Edition
Sir Denis
Nayland
Smith
arrives in
America in
pursuit of
Fu Manchu at
a time when
the
political
situation is
desperate. A
presidential
campaign is
under way
with Orwin
Prescott on
the
conservative
ticket as
one
candidate
and Harvey
Bragg,
founder of
The League
of Good
Americans,
another. The
situation is
further
complicated
by the
"radio
priest," Dom
Patrick
Donegal. It
is a
campaign
like no
other
campaign has
ever been
and many
strange
forces seem
to be at
work beneath
the surface
-- forces
that cannot
be explained
until a
Government
agent learns
that one of
the
candidates
is a puppet
of Fu
Manchu, and
that with
his election
Fu Manchu
will be
dictator of
the United
States. This
is the
situation
that
confronts
Nayland
Smith. It is
up to him to
stem the
tide that
will
inevitably
elect Fu
Manchu's
puppet to
the
Presidency
and make the
Oriental
menace the
real emperor
of America.
There
follows then
a desperate
struggle
between this
unseen head
of the
underworld
and Nayland
Smith; a
struggle
that ends
with the
most
startling
climax ever
conceived by
the powerful
imagination
of the
author.

Nayland
Smith, whose
battle with
Dr. Fu
Manchu has
raged up and
down the
world for
many years
and several
books, finds
himself
appointed to
the
responsible
job of
protecting
the various
dictators,
financiers
and
diplomats to
whom the
Chinese
doctor has
decreed
death. As
possible
aggressors
in a war
which he
does not
wish to
happen, two
of these men
have already
been
poisoned by
Fu Manchu's
orders, and
several
others given
final
warning of
his
intentions
should they
continue
their
international
disturbance.
Nayland
Smith is
partly
unsuccessful
in his
mission to
protect
Rudolf
Adlon,
German
dictator,
and
Monaghani,
Italian
leader, but
is still
able, by
using Fu
Manchu's
weapons
against
himself, to
salvage the
key position
in their
struggle. In
a thrilling,
dramatic
close, the
voice of Fu
Manchu
speaks to
Nayland
Smith,
promising
unceasing,
devious war
on Europe
and the
Western
world.

When Sir
Denis
Nayland

Bart
Kerrigan
followed Dr.
Fu Manchu
from London
to New York,
they
believed
they were
headed for
the center
of the
Chinese
doctor's
activities
in America.
Armed with a
map which
purported to
be a
treasure map
left by
Christophe
of Haiti,
they also
carried with
them a
priceless
hostage
which Fu
Manchu was
desperate to
recapture.
In New York
Nayland
Smith and
Kerrigan
first met
the
mysterious
death of the
Snapping
Fingers, and
in the Canal
Zone were
guided by
the talking
mummy head,
but it was
in Haiti
under the
protection
of the green
snake and
the
seven-pointed
star that
they finally
met the full
force of Fu
Manchu's
diabolical
plans.
