I loved these stories although they would considered politically incorrect now for the stereotyping of various racial groups. Beyond that, the plots are intriguing and the portrayal of exotic places from many decades ago is fascinating.

Four of the six Nr. Moto novels, including the 3 from the 1930s and the one late one from the 1950s. Interesting for a Japanese detective, a loyal but moderate Japanese imperialist in the 30s who survives to work for the postwar Japanese government (though they always include a secondary American hero): The four are Your Turn, Mr. Moto, Think Fast, Mr. Moto, Mr. Moto Is So Sorry, and Right You Are, Mr. Moto.
