It was in 1925 that he entered the final -- and most successful -- phase of his career; in The House Without a Key, Biggers introduced his readers to a Chinese-Hawaiian-American detective named Charlie Chan. House first ran in the Saturday Evening Post and became so popular, the magazine later paid Biggers $25,000 for exclusive serial rights to another Chan story.
Chan is perhaps best known for the broken-English sayings he recited, like: "All mischief comes from opening the mouth," from Charlie Chan Carries On. Though the character was not overly intelligent or sophisticated, Biggers saw him as both wise and intuitive. "If I understand Charlie correctly, he has an idea that if you understand a man's character you can nearly predict what he is apt to do in any set of circumstances."
This Bundle includes the entire Charlie Chan series, all 6 mystery novels. Each with a Table of Contents for easy access to Chapters.
and other 4 Mystery Horror Notable Novels -
