Double Deal

James Hadley Chase is known worldwide as an unrivaled master of gripping plot and a classic of the detective genre. He has written about 90 novels, which have been translated into dozens of languages, and many of them have been adapted for film. «Like a bloodhound, I pick up the trail and sense what the reader wants,» the author explained his success and willingly shared the golden secret: readers are attracted by «action and rhythm.» And according to the laws of modern times, the detective uses a revolver almost more often than deduction.
