You're dead without money - James Hadley Chase

This is an Al Barney Story, that heavy drinking, heavy eating character who knows all the secrets, the scandals and the crimes behind the luxury facade of Paradise City – the man with his ear to the ground.

In the crowded, smoky Neptune Tavern he tells of four ill-assorted people – Don Elliot, ex-movie star; Joey Luck and his daughter, Cindy, small time ‘dips’; and Vin Pinna, a vicious gunman – in search of eight Russian stamps worth a million dollars.

There are complications, twists, turns and tension: when aren’t there when James Hadley Chase is pulling the strings of his puppets?

So climb aboard Chase’s Magic Story-telling Carpet and get whisked away to a non-stop read.
