David Loeb Goodis was an American writer of short stories and novels mainly in the noir fiction genre. His prolific output was mostly crime fiction, but Goodis wrote in other genres, and this selection of short stories written for magazines of the pulp era proves his versatility.
The title story “Caravan to Tarim” was originally published in "Collier’s" in 1943, although it would have been at home in any of the adventure pulps.
“A Photo and a Voice” and “The Cop in the Corner” are mystery/detection stories published in "G-Men Detective" (1947) and "Popular Detective" (1947).
All the other stories are war stories that appeared in "Air War" (1940), "The Lone Eagle" (1941), "Sky Raiders" (1943), and the Canadian magazine "RAF Aces" (1944).
The stories are illustrated with the artwork from their original magazine publication.
