The first title in this series,another diabolical genius in the style of his famous Fu Manchu character,but now a woman,who now takes up that mantle. Who was Sumuru? It was said that she was an ice-cold,fascinating genius whose hypnotic powers impelled all men to do her bidding.It was said she was a fanatic who ruled her follOwers with an oriental despotism.It was said . . . But what was the truth? Nobody really knew although two men knew part of it - Sir Miles Tristram,just returned from Cairo,and Dr.Steel Maitland of the Secret Service.But Tristram died by the hand of a beautiful woman and his secret died with him. That left maitland alone to follow the trail through Sumuru's shadowy underworld and it almost proved to be a task more than he could handle. In 'Sins of Sumuru',Sax Rohmer,creator of the famous Fu Manchu novels,has written another masterly story of fear and excitement.
