 Seven Dials Mystery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Seven Dials Mystery is one of Dame Agatha Christie's most improbable mysteries, with secret societies and whispers of government secrets and the winds of war — but it was given a first-class adaptation in this Granada Television production, delightfully capturing the "veddy-veddy upper-class" tone of the piece.

 The Hung Society -A Traditional Chinese Secret Society
Footnote One Although a society member would see those in other chapters as people who he had a great deal in common with and should help if possible, it is important to remember that the Hung society organizations were primarily local institutions based in a particular place and time.
Clearly, it is entirely incorrect to see the many secret societies of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries as a single, large, centrally controlled organization held under the sway of a tyrannical despot who ruled from hiding.
It follows that although the Hung society is intended to be an organization composed of sworn brothers, it does not mean that it is an organization of equals.
