A modern take on Fu Manchu, The hidden deadly villain and how he is pursued. "A well done exercise in modernizing an old standby without making it creaky and anachronistic." - from Amazon review. The Carlsons work as journalists rather than detectives and their methods form another level to the book taking it in a little bit different direction from the normal action oriented mystery.
