Yes, L. Ron Hubbard did write over 200 short stories and novels in the 1930s and 1940s. In fact, he wrote in just about every genre from science fiction and fantasy to mystery, western, action/adventure, detective, horror and even romance!

Spy Killer is a mystery story about Kurt Reid, a man who may be innocent of the murder he's charged with (and of grand larceny, for that matter), but he's got no time to be thrown in jail and defend himself. Instead, Reid flees to pre-Communist China and Shanghai, the exotic city of mystery and death. Reid takes refuge in a tea house where he meets White Russian Varinka Savischna, whom he manages to rescue from certain death. As beautiful as she is smart, she recruits him in her crusade against Chinese intelligence services. Unfortunately, Reid manages to get himself captured by the Chinese and blackmailed into pursuing and assassinating a Japanese spy. Now Reid must enter the cloak-and-dagger world of espionage and intrigue, where everything and everyone is not who or what they appear to be.

"In L. Ron Hubbard's Spy Killer, he introduces the mysterious Russian woman Varinka Savishna with this line: 'The steam that rose from her cup of tea was not less illusive than the quality of her eyes.'

"Writing like this has a cadence, a lilting quality that not only establishes characterization but engages the reader. We learn more about Varinka Savishna in those 19 words than if Hubbard had written a full page of prose." —The Strand

"One of the great pulp writers, with colorful prose, lively action writing, exotic locales, fresh variations on standard characters and situations, and well-constructed plots." —Ellery Queen

"Rife with action and adventure." —Library Journal
