If you've picked up this volume, you may already be familiar with Achmed Abdullah's work from the first volume, &quote;The Achmed Abdullah Megapack.&quote; If not, no harm done; both Megapacks contain short stories which can be read in any order. The only real difference is that Volume 1 contains quite a few supernatural stories, while Volume 2 focuses more on &quote;contemporary&quote; (early 1900s) life in exotic locales, like the Middle East, China, and New York City (primarily in Chinatown). Crime is frequently touched upon; many of these stories qualify as mysteries.
