American tourist Hugh Morris Drake is murdered during the night in his hotel room. When Chief Inspector Duff of Scotland Yard investigates, he learns that the victim was a member of a party travelling around the world, and that this was linked to more murders in London, France, Italy and Japan. There is little convincing evidence, and when the detective travels to Honolulu to join the tour, he is shot and unable to continue. When Chan takes his place, can his trademark 'patience, hard work and perseverance' help him to find the killer before the next port of call?
