The Jade Dragon's Curse: A Charlie Chan Mystery

By Mr Antonios Valamontes

A legendary jade relic. A wealthy collector found dead behind a locked door. A curse that seems to have chosen its next victim.

In moonlit San Francisco, Charlie Chan is drawn into a world of rival collectors, secret transactions, disputed antiquities, and whispered superstition when Samuel Winters dies before revealing what he has discovered about the mysterious Jade Dragon.

The evidence seems to tell a simple story-but Charlie distrusts mysteries that explain themselves too easily.

With Inspector Anderson, Number Two Son Jimmy Chan, Birmingham Brown, and Mei Ling at his side, Charlie follows a trail through Chinatown, private collections, galleries, hidden records, and conflicting testimony. Every suspect has something to conceal, and every new discovery changes the meaning of what came before.

Was Samuel Winters destroyed by an ancient curse-or by someone who understood exactly how fear could be used as evidence?

Rebuilt as a full-length 2026 Collector's Continuity Edition, The Jade Dragon's Curse combines atmospheric mystery, fair-play clueing, brisk screen-style dialogue, and the measured deductive method associated with the classic Charlie Chan film tradition.

For readers who enjoy traditional detective fiction, vintage Hollywood mysteries, locked-room puzzles, historical crime, and mysteries where the smallest overlooked detail can expose the largest deception.
