Emperor Fu Manchu (1959 novel)

Emperor Fu Manchu is the thirteenth and final novel in Sax Rohmer's Fu Manchu novel series.
== Synopsis ==
The Chinese province of Szechuan, lying close to the Tibetan frontier, was cut off from the Western world by what was known as the Bamboo Curtain. What lay beyond that curtain London and Washington could only guess at. Sir Denis Nayland Smith of the British Secret Service, however, was never in any real doubt. For some time reports of a legendary figure called The Master had been filtering through and their familiar note recalled to memory only too well the evil genius of a man more widely known as Dr. Fu Manchu. 
Nayland Smith knew the implications of Fu Manchu's presence in this remote part of China, and knew that only a man with an intimate knowledge of Chinese mentality had any hope of penetrating there. Tony McKay was the obvious choice; he had the qualifications and, moreover, was an angry young man with a private account to square. 
Disguised as a Chinese fisherman, McKay embarked on his first solo mission as an undercover agent. With Fu Manchu spreading the net for his capture and destruction, it proved to be an experience he was never to forget.
