James Hadley Chase Boeken
Deze auteur werd beroemd om zijn meeslepende verhalen die zich afspelen in de Amerikaanse onderwereld, waarmee hij voldeed aan de vraag naar gangsterromans.

Banned in the UK! Author and Publisher Fined! Not seen in 70 Years! This is the story of Miss Callaghan. Not of any particular Miss Callaghan, but of the hundreds of Miss Callaghans who disappear from their homes suddenly and mysteriously and are seen no more by those who knew and loved them. This is also the story of Raven, who played with clockwork trains, the leader of the White Slave Ring in East St. Louis, who was responsible for the keeping to full strength the army of women for the service of men. James Hadley Chase needs no introduction now. He has established a reputation for unmitigated toughness and plain writing. Under his blunt treatment, the traffic of women in America is shown to be what it is;a loathsome, corrupt stain on the pages of American history.
