The case becomes complicated when Kilgour discovers that Huang Chow's daughter, Kwei-li, has gone missing. As Kilgour delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit, corruption, and danger involving a secret society, opium smuggling, and a powerful criminal mastermind known as the ""Mandarin."" Kilgour must navigate the treacherous underworld of Shanghai and use his wits and courage to solve the case and rescue Kwei-li before it's too late. The Daughter of Huang Chow is a thrilling and suspenseful mystery that offers a glimpse into the exotic and dangerous world of early 20th century China.Many of the larger pieces about the place contained drawers and cupboards, and these he systematically opened one after another, without making any discovery of note. Some of the cupboards contained broken pieces of crockery, and more or less damaged curios of one kind and another, but none of them gave him the clue for which he was seeking.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
