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.
