His name was Fo-Hi, and he was the Oriental mastermind behind the greatest criminal organization the world has ever known. His plan: nothing less than world domination--and he will use any tool, from poisons to knives to beautiful women, to meet his sinister goals.

In The Golden Scorpion, Sax Rohmer has created a new Oriental super-villain to match his legendary Fu Manchu. Fans of the Fu Manchu books will find many favorite elements here, with action ranging from Cairo to London to China, from sinister opium dens to fog-shrouded streets to secret underground passages . . . and even more secret societies. And, of course, the brilliant and dedicated Scotland Yard detective who may be mankind's best hope!

The Golden Scorpion is a thrilling Yellow Peril novel--and a classic of its genre!
