Produktbeschreibung

The sinister business of counter-espionage is played by a motley assortment of characters: Quayle, administrative genius, with the ability to live without sleep, wine, or women; Shaun O'Mara, who loves all those things, looks like an actor, and works with subtlety, artistry and distinction; and Ricky Kerr, who is not quite able to stand the pace.

Autorenporträt

Reginald Evelyn Peter Southouse Cheyney 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.
