THE YELLOW CLAW Writer Henry Leroux’s receives a late-night visitor, a scantily-clad woman who suddenly dies while Leroux is getting help from the doctor who lives in the flat above. A torn message is found in the dead woman’s hand with the hastily scribbled words, “Mr. King.” Inspector Dunbar is suspicious of Leroux, whose wife is supposedly visiting a friend in Paris—who hasn’t seen her in months. Could this be a lover’s tryst gone wrong? And what of Leroux’s butler, Soames, who has suddenly disappeared? Famed Parisian detective, Gaston Max, is called in, but even Max finds the case particularly baffling. One thing for certain—drugs are involved, and probably opium. The elusive trail leads him to the genial Mr. Gianapolis and the Cave of the Golden Dragon, where addicts seek the solace of the pipe, and where the beautiful and imperious Mahâra holds sway. But who is the elusive Mr. King, whose hand reaches out to bring death—as the yellow claw? THE GOLDEN SCORPION Dr. Keppel Stuart is awakened in the night and sees a cowled figured outside his window. Convinced the next morning that this had all been a dream, he has no idea that he has come under the surveillance of a nefarious Chinaman, the Scorpion, and his followers. Dr. Stuart is an expert on toxicology, but is no match for the feminine whiles of Mlle. Dorian, known to detective Gaston Max as Zâra el-Khalâ, “Flower of the Desert.” Max has followed her group from Paris to London, disguised and thought dead by the police. But Max is very much alive, and this time “the foremost criminal investigator in Europe” is on the trail of a mastermind so cunning it takes all of Max’s resources to ferret him out. With the help of Dr. Stuart and Inspector Dunbar, Max pursues Zâra and her mysterious servant, Chunda Lal, little knowing that their master has plans that include the subjugation of the Western World!

Ten stories featuring perhaps the most fantastic sleuth of them all: Moris Klaw, the Dream Detective. Accompanied by his beautiful daughter Isis, Klaw's mysterious abilities lead him to clues and answers concerning occult occurrances far beyond the ken of ordinary minds. Moris Klaw is a gifted eccentric in the Holmesian mode. The proprietor of a ramshackle antique shop in Wapping, Klaw is a tall, stoop-shouldered man, of indeterminate age and unidentifiable foreign acccent, with skin the color of "dirty vellum". He wears gold pince-nez, a flat bowler hat, and an old black cape, and is not only an expert in the legends and lore of valuable historical objects, but also a master of disguise.
