<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><i>Stolen Souls</i> (1895) is a short story collection by Anglo-French writer William Le Queux. Published at the beginning of Le Queux's career as a leading author of popular thrillers, <i>Stolen Souls</i> contains stories of mystery, espionage, and international crime. Using his own research and experience as a journalist and adventurer, Le Queux crafts an accessible, entertaining world for readers in search of a literary escape. Known for his works of fiction and nonfiction on the possibility of Germany invading Britain--a paranoia common in the early twentieth century--William Le Queux also wrote dozens of thrillers and adventure novels for a dedicated public audience. Although critical acclaim eluded him, popular success made him one of England's bestselling writers. <i>Stolen Souls</i> is a collection of fourteen entertaining and thought-provoking short stories set throughout Europe. In "The Soul of Princess Tchikhatzoff," an English journalist enters a popular restaurant on Nevski Prospekt in St. Petersburg. Dining alone, he cannot help but notice the strange couple sitting at the table next to him. The man, handsome, with a devious look in his eye, seems to be controlling the conversation, while his partner, a beautiful, ornately dressed woman, looks entirely uncomfortable. After they've left, the journalist goes out into the frigid Russian night, when suddenly a stranger approaches who cryptically invites him to a meeting of local Nihilists. In "The Golden Hand," a reporter on assignment in Spain receives a tip to where the nation's leaders--who have fled Madrid in a time of unrest--will be staying. Hungry for a story, anxious to provide information to the British people, and overall looking to break with several months of aimless wandering, he checks into his hotel and awaits his chance. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of William Le Queux's <i>Stolen Souls</i> is a classic short story collection reimagined for modern readers.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>After a strange encounter in an esteemed St. Petersburg restaurant, an English journalist receives an invitation to a meeting of local Nihilists.
