Fu-Manchu And Houdini

Titan Books present two new series of books.  One is an authorized reprint of a world famous series. The other is a brand new collection of stories starring a past world famous magician.

The Mystery Of Dr. Fu-Manchu and The Return Of Dr. Fu-Manchu stars Sax Rohmer's super-villain Fu-Manchu the sinister agent of the Si-Fan League Of Assassins.

The first of the Fu-Manchu novels, The Mystery Of Dr. Fu-Manchu follows the Asian assassin as he vies for leadership of the League Of Assassins and outwits Commissioner Denis Nayland Smith and his assistant Dr. Petrie.

Fu-Manchu is credited as being the blueprint for such sinister villains as James Bond's Doctor No and Smith and Petrie make admirable comparisons to Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

In The Return Of Dr. Fu-Manchu the 'Devil Doctor' returns to London to subvert the British government and have Chine gain its rightful place as the leader of the world-with him in charge.

Each volume features an essay by Leslie S. Klinger, the author behind the new annotated Sherlock Holmes and Dracula books.

The Harry Houdini Mysteries, written by Daniel Stashower, contain brand new adventures of the most famous magician of all time.

The adventures of the young Houdini starts with The Dime Museum Murders.  The young struggling Houdini is trying to break into the entertainment industry in New York City in the latter part of the 19th Century.

Called upon to solve the murder of a toy manufacturer, Harry and his brother Dash discover the victim was seemingly killed by a magic trick.

In The Floating Lady Murders Houdini investigates what went wrong with his master's latest magic trick.  Along with his brother Dash and his wife Bess, Houdini must solve the mystery how his master's assistant died from drowning rather from a fatal fall.
