Number 13 in the popular “Secret Service” series featuring “Old and Young King Brady, Detectives” which started January 27, 1899, and came out like clockwork every Friday for more than two decades—by which time well more than a thousand issues had been published—Hop Lee, The Chinese Slave Dealer; or, Old and Young King Brady and the Opium Fiends has the Bradys taking on two cases at once in San Francisco, as they measure their wits against the local leader of the Chinese Highbinders League, a worldwide gang with roots in China itself.
Naturally, this being the Bradys, the two cases end up merging and they solve both of them at the same time.
At more than 27,000 words, this novella-sized work of pulp fiction, besides being an interesting and fun read, gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th century time period.
