| When a prima donna is shot there is likely to be something doing in the detective line. When the shooting is done at Reno, and there are several people who may reasonably be suspected of having had an interest in the crime, or who have been so close to it that, visible interest or not, they can be asked to explain themselves, the detective--especially if he is the celebrated Charlie Chan--is likely to sit up and take notice. So he does; and those who have met this prince of sleuths in some other of his exploits will follow his feat in tracking down his latest quarry with full appreciation.

| This, the first of the "Charlie Chan" mysteries, deals with the murder of a former member of Boston society who has lived in Hawaii for a number of years. The main character is the victim's nephew, John Winterslip, who came to the islands to convince his aunt Minerva, whose holiday has extended many months, to return to Boston. Chan's role in this case is relatively small. He does arrive at the solution to the crime, but it is Winterslip who has the honour of collaring the murderer. [Wikipedia]
