โฆ Synopsis
When Kwan Yung, Chinese inventor, gets cheated out of $32,000, it sets off a whirlwind set of circumstances that will affect financier Christopher Thorne, his beautiful daughter, Alicia, and his loyal employee, Philip Erskine -- for better or for worse!

You also get a third solution to the Marceau Case, which has baffled Scotland Yard. The action ranges from Chicago to New York to New Orleans in this classic work by Chicago's own Harry Stephen Keeler.
