The wheels were beginning to turn. From all parts of the country quiet, tough men slipped into the small southern coastal town and took up the final vigil. There was the arsonist, the safe blower, the boy-faced killer--there was a regiment of crack, lawless men waiting out the minutes until Saturday night--the night the town would explode into violence. For in the center of town sat the bank--a citadel of twelve million dollars, impregnable as Gibraltar, safe as a church. Safe--until precisely ten-fifteen on Saturday night.

Of Sins of Sumuru, the Manchester Evening News wrote: "Dr. Fu Manchu, Sax Rohmer’s celebrated character, gives way to a woman -- Sumuru --in this new novel. But Rohmer’s sure touch remains. His feminine epitome of wickedness is as fine a piece of imaginative character drawing as the notorious doctor, and the suspense of a well-knit plot never relaxes one iota." Slaves of Sumuru is another equally absorbing of Rohmer’s stories of mystery and imagination -- a story of murder and violence -- again featuring the enigmatic woman who all men feared and few men knew.

WHO WAS SUMURU? It was said that she was an ice-cold, fascinating genius whose hypnotic powers impelled all men to do her bidding. It was said she was a fanatic who ruled her followers with oriental despots. It was said . . . But what was the truth? Nobody really knew although two men knew part of it -- sir Miles Tristram, just returned from Cairo, and Dr. Steel Maitland of the Secret Service. But Tristram died by the hand of a beautiful woman and his secret died with him. That left Maitland alone to follow the trail through Sumuru’s shadowy underworld and it almost proved to be
