A review by bhalpin
The Golden Scorpion by Sax Rohmer

Again, tough to star this effectively. A thrilling adventure tale full of cliffhanging suspense and good old fashioned racism. Lots of "mystery of the Orient" stuff, and a mysterious Chinese villain--we know he's evil, 'cause he's a "Chinaman"! Ugh. Finally, someone survives a rather severe blow to the head, and another character remarks, "you must have a skull like a Negro!" So it's that kind of book. Probably not worth reading in this day and age.
