23 SHORT STORIES OF MYSTERY AND ADVENTURE (Timeless Wisdom Collection Book 4530)

This volume features 23 short stories full of adventure and mystery, by one of the most enigmatic characters to visit the Hollywood of the 30's: Achmed Abdullah. Noted for his pulp stories of crime, mystery and adventure, he wrote some succesful screenplays for films. But it was his personal life, surrounded by mystery, and his claims of descending from the Romanovs of Russia and Afghan royalty (spread by his autobiography), that made him most famous, in a time when wild claims could not be discredited by the Internet.
