Produktbeschreibung

KALEIDOSCOPIC pictures of last night's party presented themselves between myself and the ceiling. One or two faces- one of them was certainly Sammy's face, the other that of an attractive woman- flashed across my memory. I felt a little sick and did not want particularly to think about them. In fact I did not want to think about anything. You wouldn't get any funny ideas about me, would you? You wouldn't come to the conclusion that I was just another of those people who've become bored with the war and try to "sublimate" their annoyance by getting cockeyed all the time? I'm not a bit like that. But- and I think I should point this out now- when one has been in the sort of racket that I've been playing around in for the last few years, it's a very good thing for a man to relax occasionally- if you get me- just to stop himself going entirely nuts.

Autorenporträt

Reginald Evelyn Peter Southouse Cheyney (1896-1951) was born in Whitechapel in the East End of London. After serving as a lieutenant during the First World War, he worked as a police reporter and freelance investigator until he found success with his first Lemmy Caution novel. In his lifetime Cheyney was a prolific and wildly successful author, selling, in 1946 alone, over 1.5 million copies of his books. His work was also enormously popular in France, and inspired Jean-Luc Godard's character of the same name in his dystopian sci-fi film Alphaville. The master of British noir, in Lemmy Caution Peter Cheyney created the blueprint for the tough-talking, hard-drinking pulp fiction detective.
