A crooked merchant banker. The tantalising wealth of a distant relative. A bribe promising to wipe the slate clean. Stephen Narth needs £50,000 to keep out of prison. When his uncle unexpectedly offers a solution, an exciting and dangerous journey to China begins. But Narth must pull the strings of fate to secure his future. And time waits for no one when seedy businessmen and corrupt assassins are at hand. Who will keep their side of the bargain? And more importantly, will Narth come out on top? Outlandishly fun and outrageously daring, Edgar Wallace's thriller 'The Yellow Snake' is perfect for fans of 'Peaky Blinders'.
