Description:

A Secret Service story of the unsensational and realistic variety. Its methods are those of subtley and finesse, rather than coercion and force. The Chinese Label, from the height and depth and general enthrallment ot ts plot is warranted to hold readers of detective fiction spellbound from start to finish. The picturesque city of San Antonio offers an excellent background for a Secret Service agent of the United States to hunt down a band of clever criminals including Chinese, Mexicans, a retired American army officer and an international spy. Two diamonds, both of exceedingly great value, stolen from the sash of the Sultan, and said to have been smuggled to America, are believed to be hidden in a can of opium having a Chinese label and secreted somewhere in San Antonio. The development of the theme involves subtlety and fine handling and incidentally introduces romance into its absorbing issues.
