Overview
In The Black Camel, the fourth thrilling installment of Earl Derr Biggers’ beloved Charlie Chan mystery series, the idyllic island of Honolulu becomes the stage for a chilling murder. When glamorous Hollywood actress Shelah Fane is found dead in her beachfront bungalow just days before announcing her engagement, whispers of scandal and secrets swirl like the island breeze. Enter the unflappable and razor-sharp Detective Charlie Chan, called upon to untangle a web of deception woven between the glamour of Hollywood and the quiet elegance of Hawaiian society. As Chan delves deeper, he encounters a fortune-telling mystic, buried crimes of the past, and a cast of suspects as colorful as the island itself. But nothing is as it seems—and the black camel of death, as Chan notes, “kneels once at every door.” With crisp dialogue, atmospheric detail, and an intricately plotted mystery, The Black Camel showcases Biggers’ talent for blending suspense with charm. It’s a captivating whodunit where the past refuses to stay buried—and justice walks softly, but surely.
