    About this ebook


    Veda Rux, a beautiful blonde, known professionally as a stripper, steals a priceless Cellini dagger from the safe in millionaire Lindsay Brett's home. Her agent, Cornelius Gorman, approaches Floyd Jackson, a private investigator and first–rate blackmailer, and asks him to return the dagger before the theft is discovered.

    Jackson should have known there was something wrong with the whole situation, but, blinded by the beauty of Veda and more money than he had ever seen, he agreed to the proposition.

    From the moment he fell in love with Veda, his doom was sealed; he was caught up in a relentless intrigue that made him a cat's–paw for murder.

    James Hadley Chase

    James Hadley Chase was a pseudonym for Rene Brabazon Raymond. Born in England on Christmas Eve, 1906, Chase left home at the age of eighteen and worked at a number of different jobs before he settled on being a writer. With a map and a slang dictionary, Chase wrote his first book, No Orchids for Miss Blandish, in six weeks. It was published in 1939 and became one of the best-sold books of the decade. It was later made into a stage play in London and then into a film in 1948, and finally remade in 1971 by Robert Aldrich as The Grissom Gang. Chase went on to write more than 80 mysteries before his death on February 6, 1985.
