24. Chapter in some Fu Manchu novel’s pretty similar (4,2,1,8), looks like an anagram producing "Much of _______" but I am stumped
27. Took seat on vehicle up to find driver’s guide (6) Looks like SATRAP or SATRAC but I can't find either word.
Last -but not least
45. Material thrown out by policeman stopping us at resort (6) could it be EXCUSE (resort)
