G.K. Chesterton
A novel series by G.K. Chesterton of four intertwined novellas whose central characters appear to be involved in murder, fraud, theft and treason. Are these friends involved in crimes? Are these individuals faultless as the books title suggests? A good book for people who love suspenseful novels that features mind-blowing twists, awesome plots, and events that will keep you engaged page by page.
Joseph Conrad
This is an exciting saga located in the Indian Ocean basin, against the stormy backdrop of barely suppressed military operations between the Dutch and British merchant fleets, told by one of Conrads classic passages. After all, Freyas unique perspective on the sharply etched nature is one of Conrads most piercing studies of how power hunger can lead people to greatness or its opposite.
Fritz to the Front. or The Ventriloquist Scamp-Hunter
Edward Lytton Wheeler
Another amusing tale from American author Edward Lytton Wheeler (1854-1885), this time from the east coast of America, with another hero and another damsel in need of help. A group of European and American tourists is enjoying its trip in Egypt in the year 1895. They are sailing up the River Nile in a a turtle-bottomed, round-bowed stern-wheeler, the Korosko. They intend to travel to Abousir at the southern frontier of Egypt, after which the Dervish country starts. They are attacked and abducted by a marauding band of Dervish warriors. The terrorists will either kill them or forcibly convert them to Islam. This desert drama is high adventure at its pulpy best, and still surprisingly relevant today. Highly recommended for lovers of adventures!
Zane Grey

Hulbert Footner (18791944) was a Canadian writer of non-fiction and detective fiction. About 1920, Footner began to write detective fiction, his first series detective character being Madame Rosika Storey. This is the seventh book of the succesful mystery series Madame Storey, by canadian-american author Hulbert Footner. Footner most successful creation was the beautiful and brilliant Madame Rosika Storey and her plain assistant who explains the evolving solutions to her boss cases. These stories take the reader to Morocco and China etc... basically out of NYC where Storey resides. Theres lots of action and danger and disguises and very very bad people.
