About this Item

Spine somewhat slanted and creased, some edgewear and bumping. Text is starting to yellow, but clean and unmarked. "The statue known as 'The Sleeping Venus' was exquisitely lovely - so skillfully painted as to appear to be a living, breathing woman. Nayland Smith's piercing blue eyes darkened at the description, a terrible suspicion forming in his mind. Could it be - was it possible - that the figure brought in under the noses of British authorities was none other than the kidnapped daughter of his old colleague Dr. Petrie! There was only one man capable of inducing such a trance; only one mind diabolical enough to conceive such an infernal plot. It could only be Doctor Fu Manchu."; 6¾" - 7¾" Tall.

About this title

Synopsis

The Sleeping Venus

It appeared to be a life-size porcelain figure, carefully painted and of incredible beauty. Yet it masked the treacherous work of a master of terror!

Frozen on the carved altar, as cold as the clay she was arranged to represent, dr. Petrie's beautiful daughter, Fleurette, slept as one dead.

While somewhere in the fog strewn corners of London, her fiancée, Alan sterling, and the fearless commissioner Nayland Smith raced against magic and time to unravel the threads of her mysterious disappearance. Each step bringing them closer to death on--The Trail of Fu Manchu!
