'The Veiled Man' is a mystery novel written by Ambrose Pratt. The story follows a neatly dressed dapper little man, who late one afternoon in the summer of 1893, was strolling through the Sydney Domain in the direction of Woolloomooloo when a piercing voice cried out his name.

The Veiled Man is a close account of robber-sheik Ahamadou's adventures through the sands of the Sahara Desert. These amazing exploits and adventures will thrill and shock you. Excerpt: "I am a Veiled Man. Openly, I confess myself a vagabond and a brigand.

The Veiled Man "Being an Account of the Risks and Adventures of Sidi Ahamadou, Sheikh of the Azjar Marauders of the Great Sahara."

In the belief that some description of the wild life of the Desert, with its romance and mystery, told by one upon whose head a price was set for twelve years, and who a dozen times narrowly escaped capture, may interest those fond of adventure, I have translated, edited, and presented these reminiscences in their present form.
