A Desert Drama Being the Tragedy of the Korosko (Hardcover)

1898. Doyle, the English novelist best known for his Sherlock Holmes detective books, also wrote historical novels. A Desert Drama first appeared in serial form. The book begins: The public may possibly wonder why it is that they have never heard in the papers of the fate of the passengers of the Korosko. In these days of universal press agencies, responsive to the slightest stimulus, it may well seem incredible that an international incident of such importance should remain so long chronicle. Suffice it that there were very valid reasons, both of a personal and political nature, for holding it back. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
