His works include thrillers, horror, mystery and detective novels, but his greatest creation is undoubtedly the evil genius, Dr. Fu-Manchu.

"Out of fire I came-the smoldering fire of a thing one day
to be a consuming flame; in fire I go. Seek not my ashes.
I am the lord of the fires! Farewell." Fu-Manchu
