Description:

This is a mystery story, and a curiously original one. A young lad mysteriously disappears from his employer’s curio shop in a Burmese bazaar. The Eastern atmosphere all through the book is capital, and unusually well done. The disappearance is reported to the local English police, whose head, Hartley, makes a few casual inquiries, with very unexpected results, some of them exceedingly amusing.
