Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The Tangled String: A Charlie Chan Mystery takes the famous detective and his family to Boston for daughter Rose's wedding, where prenuptial planning collides with an empty safe, untimely death, and hints of family scandal. Rose Chan's marriage to John Quincy Winterslip promises to be a joyous occasion in the groom's native Boston, and his family insists on putting up the bride's parents and nine siblings at the famous Hotel Statler. Honolulu police inspector Charlie Chan welcomes the opportunity to take his devoted wife and their brood to far-off New England, and the Winterslip family introduces them to the Athens of America. After an enigmatic family heirloom arrives under police escort, Chan soon discovers that the hotel elevator isn't the only thing that's out of order. A burglary leads to a suicide-or was it murder? The father of the bride-to-be comes to the aid of Boston police to find the connections between thievery, death and blue-blooded family skeletons. Drawing on ancient wisdom, intelligent deduction and his characteristic wit, Chan must help a junior police detective reveal all as the wedding day approaches.…

Paperback. Condition: Good. Death, I Said: A Charlie Chan Mystery finds the Honolulu police inspector and internationally renowned detective on the case when an old friend's plea for help turns into a mystery as thick as its fog-shrouded San Francisco setting. Years after their first meeting in the midst of a Hawaiian murder case, John Quincy Winterslip appeals to Chan to discreetly delve into the secrets of a respected San Francisco university. Not as challenging a case, Chan thinks, as those which brought him professional satisfaction and worldwide celebrity. Still, it's an opportunity to see daughter Rose and other family-and to help the young Winterslip. But something is amiss in the academic community, and Chan's powers are put to the test as violence and death visit the quiet campus. Who is threatening one professor after another with blackmail and death? With wit, wisdom, and intuitive intellect-and the help of Winterslip and daughter Rose-Chan will crack the case and unmask the guilty.…
