The Mystery of the Fire Dragon

This is a rather complex story that covers the ground from River Heights all the way to Hong Kong when it was still a British colony.

Ned is in Hong Kong studying. Aunt Eloise calls from New York and says she needs Nancy's help in order to help a Chinese couple named Soong. Mr. Soong's granddaughter, Chi Che, has been kidnapped.

Meanwhile Nancy's father says he's going to need to go to Hong Kong to work on a case involving a will.

Nancy, Bess and George go to New York and almost immediately run into trouble. Someone throws a firecracker (it seems like an M-80 or something of that nature) near Nancy. Mr. Soong has written a manuscript and that gets stolen. There's a guy who has a bookstore and he seems to be one of the baddies.

George dresses up as Chi Che and some thugs end up grabbing her. Some thug puts a big firecracker in a stove where Nancy is staying. Bess ends up being kidnapped then freed.

The girls end plan to go to Hong Kong but some thugs threaten to blow up the plane they will be flying in. In Hong Kong there's more of the thugs, and Nancy is kidnapped. The British Air Force ends up becoming involved.

The entire plot revolves around an illegal smuggling ring and, as usual, everything is tied up nicely at the end of the story. There's a lot of action and, as usual, some cultural information is tossed into the story. Another good book in the series.
