Krátky popis
The Chinese Parrot (1926) is the second novel in the Charlie Chan
series of mystery novels by Earl Derr Biggers. It is the first in
which Chan travels from Hawaii to mainland California, and involves
a crime whose exposure is hastened by the death of a parrot.The
story concerns a valuable string of pearls which is purchased by a
wealthy and eccentric financier. The handsome young son of the
jeweller is assigned to shepherd the transfer of the pearls to the
financier's vacation home in a desert area of California. Because
of his long association with the owner of the pearls—before joining
the police force, he was her houseboy—Charlie Chan travels from
Hawaii to California with the pearls. After two mysterious deaths,
first of a Chinese-speaking parrot and then of the household's
Chinese man-of-all-work, Charlie Chan masquerades as a
pidgin-speaking cook named Ah Kim and works underground to solve a
number of crimes. Along the way, the jeweller's son meets a
beautiful young woman who works as a location scout and decides to
stay in the California desert.
