Charlie Chan is a Chinese Hero, solving mysteries with wit and courage. Biggers created the character because he disliked the negative stereotypes around Asian people at the time. S. T. Karnick writes in the National Review that Chan is "a brilliant detective with understandably limited facility in the English language [whose] powers of observation, logic, and personal rectitude and humility made him an exemplary, entirely honourable character. The books have been adapted to television and film, creating characters and stories that adults and children alike love. This Omnibus Edition of the six Charlie Chan Novels is a must-read for every Charlie Chan fan: The House Without a Key (1925), The Chinese Parrot (1926), Behind that Curtain (1928), The Black Camel (1929), Charlie Chan Carries On (1930), Keeper of the Keys (1932)
