Robert Pendleton è un genio della chimica e ha appena brevettato un fertilizzante che potrebbe valere una fortuna. Partito per una conferenza a San Francisco, smette di dare notizie di sé e dei frutti delle sue ricerche. Non c'è da stupirsi se gli Amici di Famiglia, che hanno finanziato il suo lavoro, vogliono scoprire che fine abbia fatto, decidendo anche stavolta di rivolgersi a Neal Carey, il loro uomo migliore. Quella che sembra un'indagine facile si rivela però un incubo. Neal sarà costretto a un lungo viaggio costellato di pericoli, tra la Chinatown di San Francisco e le strade di Hong Kong, fino ad arrivare nella Cina piú profonda e arcaica. E dovrà vedersela con la Cia, con il governo cinese e con un'organizzazione altrettanto letale, che agisce nell'ombra. Ma soprattutto con la bellissima Li Lan: una dark lady, o forse una vittima innocente.

Five stars for Ken Burns on this excellent compilation! I really like that Ken Burns was able to capture jazz from all the major periods of jazz from the traditional to fusion. Some say, as one reviewer did here, that bop was "crammed" in and traditional jazz was represented a little healthy in this series.

A chronological history of jazz vocal presented by André Francis and Jean Schwarz. 10 CDs with more than 12 hours of music.
The resulting 2 boxed sets of 10 CDs in each, unlike any other available today, groups together the main vocalists in the story of jazz from the first half of the 20th century. Each of these 20 CDs offers in more or less the same proportion, the purest of African-American song with gospel and blues singers, from truculent Ma Rainey to majestic Bessie Smith, sophisticated Sarah Vaughan to popular Louis Prima, the folk-related tones of Charlie Patton to the honeyed voice of Frank Sinatra.
