Dope

Dope

by Sax Rohmer

Set in the aftermath of World War I, "Dope" follows Chief Inspector Red Kerry of New Scotland Yard as he investigates the interconnected deaths and disappearances of a minor lord and a wealthy socialite. The enigmatic Kazmah the Dream Reader, who holds the key to the mystery, has also vanished. Kerry's search leads him into the underbelly of London's bohemian circles, where he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including theater personalities, sailors, and both Chinese and Jewish individuals. As he digs deeper, Kerry uncovers a web of drug-fueled hedonism and personal secrets, leading him to the truth behind the deadly events.
