The night’s stillness is broken as Dr. Petrie rushes out to care for a dying patient, and the subtle machinations of villainy begin their work, and the nefarious Dr. Fu-Manchu again rears his insidious head in London.
Arthur Henry Ward (Sax Rohmer) is best known for creating the criminal mastermind Dr. Fu-Manchu. The Wire Jacket contains the first three chapters of the novel The Return of Fu-Manchu, and can be read as a standalone story.
