The Black Camel: An Impact Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798903000289)

When a Hollywood star is murdered on the slopes of an active volcano, detective Charlie Chan is drawn into one of his most dangerous investigations in The Black Camel. Set against the exotic landscape of Hawaii, the case quickly expands beyond a single act of violence into a tangle of secrets, ambition, and carefully concealed motives. As Chan follows a trail that winds through film studios, society circles, and isolated estates, each clue deepens the mystery and narrows the list of suspects. Earl Derr Biggers combines a fast-moving plot with atmosphere and wit, delivering a classic Golden Age whodunit that balances suspense, deduction, and character. First published in 1929, The Black Camel is one of the most famous Charlie Chan novels and a cornerstone of early American detective fiction.

This Impact Books edition restores a landmark mystery that continues to captivate readers who enjoy traditional crime stories, colorful settings, and methodical detective work.
