Roundabout Papers / William Makepeace Thackeray.

An unusual story of East meets West, Conan Doyle's The Tragedy of the Korosko, describes mayhem and madness in the Arabian desert. When a select party of American and English tourists board the Korosko in search of Eastern magic, they are ill prepared for what is to follow. Taken hostage by Islamic fundamentalists, they encounter the ultimate in cross-cultural experiences - one that leaves them fearing for their lives. But what begins as a tale of unforeseen horror is soon transformed into love in a hot climate. Conan Doyle brings his mastery of thrills and suspense to bear on this classic fiction.
