Description
Over half a century of writing, British crime author René Brabazon Raymond (1906–1985) published around ninety criminal novels and used several creative pen names. The most famous of them is James Hadley Chase.
“I follow the trail like a bloodhound and sense what the reader wants. And what he’ll buy”—that’s how the master explained the success of his novels, willingly revealing the gold-bearing secret: readers are drawn to “action and rhythm.” In the twentieth century, there was no room for leisurely old-fashioned stories where an eccentric detective investigates a mysterious murder of an aristocrat in the cozy setting of a country mansion; under the laws of the new times, the detective fires his revolver almost as often as he deduces.
