| Summary | "The Yellow Claw" by Sax Rohmer is a mystery novel written during the early 20th century. The story begins in the atmospheric setting of a novelist's study and takes a dramatic turn when beauty and terror intertwine as the glamorous yet troubled Lady of the Civet Furs arrives, seeking help from the reclusive writer Henry Leroux. As events unfold, intrigue surrounding her appearance suggests a deeper plot involving murder, a missing husband, and sinister forces at play. At the start of the book, we find Leroux engrossed in his writing when a frantic, beautiful woman appears at his door, fearing for her safety. This woman, covered in a luxurious civet fur cloak, brings an air of mystery and urgency, revealing her distress as she pleads for Leroux's assistance. The tension escalates when she collapses, revealing the precarious nature of her situation. As Leroux's world spirals into chaos, the narrative introduces a cast of characters that includes a doctor and a politician, setting the stage for a complex web of murder and deception, firmly establishing the tone of suspense that defines the novel.
