The tomb of Ts'in
Tillizinni, an Italian professor of anthropology who has become the greatest detective in Europe, is set a problem by Scotland Yard that nearly costs him his life: the tomb of the first emperor of China, dead two centuries before Christ, a jade amulet, a secret society called the Society of Joyful Intention, and Captain Ted Talham, an adventurer who may be the most talkative man alive. Edgar Wallace published the novel in 1916, in the middle of his transition from war journalism to full-time thrillers. It mixes London rooms by the canal with an expedition to a lost city, and Tillizinni, who appears in a handful of his early stories, is one of his more unusual detectives. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
