by Sax Rohmer
The first in a series of popular Fu-Manchurian mystery introduces British libertarian Denis Nyland Smith and his friend Dr. Petri to the evil doctor Fu-Manchur, a cunning Chinese crime lord who aims to rule the world. "The Insidious Doctor Fu-Manchur" is the first title of the famous novel series "The Yellow Peril", published by the British writer Sachs Romer. The novel, like many sequels, compares the 'evil genius' of the Far East to the English duo.
