Explore "The Clue of the New Pin" by Edgar Wallace on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
IN the course of his professional duties Tab Holland had been brought into contact with the master of the Golden Roof on two occasions.

He had found the Chinaman reserved to a point of taciturnity, monosyllabic in speech; a most unsatisfactory person.
