The Chinese Parrot (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798880925797)

When the glamorous world of high society collides with the secrets of the desert, only one detective can unravel the truth. In this gripping second installment of the Charlie Chan series, the brilliant Honolulu detective is dispatched to California to oversee the sale of a rare and exquisite pearl. But what begins as a simple assignment quickly spirals into a tangled web of lies, murder, and whispered warnings from a cryptic parrot who may have witnessed too much. As Chan trades tropical breezes for dusty roads and gilded mansions, he must outwit cunning crooks, navigate hidden identities, and face a case more bizarre than any he's encountered. Can he crack the mystery before the killer strikes again? The Chinese Parrot is classic Golden Age mystery at its finest--fast-paced, atmospheric, and brimming with intrigue. A must-read for fans of vintage crime and unforgettable detectives.
