Reginald Evelyn Peter Southhouse-Cheyney, a British writer of hardboiled detective fiction, stands alongside his celebrated American colleagues and the creators of the genre, Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler, and James M. Cain.
This book includes the tenth novel about the investigations of FBI agent Lemmy Caution, a novella about him, and a collection of short stories featuring the protagonist of another book series, London private investigator Slim Callaghan.
Surprise after Surprise
Paris is always Paris. Even in March 1945, slowly recovering from several years of German occupation. However, FBI special agent Lemmy Caution, assigned to American Army headquarters, has no time for the beauty of the festive city. He's accused of drinking too much and giving classified information to a Frenchwoman suspected of working for the Germans...
That Caution Again
Gangsters are hunting Esmeralda Vandellin. Their goal is to extort a large sum from her father, one of the richest men in America. They kidnap Esmeralda, but she manages to escape. Then her ne'er-do-well brother, Ricky, convinces their father that he and his sister need to hide in England...
Murder with a Twist
The plan seemed flawless: hire the best private detective in England to help get rid of a gangster's widow, who had vowed to avenge her husband's death. A generous fee—two thousand pounds—was paid in advance. But money had never made Slim Callaghan too trusting.
