A claim is made on the insurance company (but only after some time has elapsed), and although the police are working on the case Callaghan is brought in by the family. With his assistant, Windermere Nikolls, he discovers some of the startling facts, particularly about Esme Vendayne—just one of the lovelies in the rarest bouquets of femininity ever produced by the Cheyney technique. Here, right up to the final violent scene in a shady London nightclub, is all the pace, originality, swiftness of dialogue and impertinence of conception which have assured Peter Cheyney a permanent place among the top-rank crime writers of the century, A Slim Callaghan thriller For Sale at £4.50 (approx $7) *us5 - free delivery worldwide !
