I started reading his book as a kid then, perhaps I've read 90 of his books, whenever I read his books it's just as if I'm watching a movie, the best story teller ever!

Coincidentally, for the past one month I've been on a mission to read all his novels (both the ones I read before and the ones I haven't read). I got like 95% of his books downloaded and I read from my laptop and phone grin currently reading "The Whiff of Money" never a dull moment with a JHC novel. wink

I've read 26 from that list. Our indomie generation who are allergic to reading even their academic books don't know anything about Chase novel.

Those novels will wake you to watch movies from your brain. Now it is games people play on their spare time. I recently downloaded over 30 of his novels again free online. I love reading them. Apart from James hardely chase, pacesetter novels were another series I love to read. How time flies.
Can you share the link please?

You could literally use your imaginative abilities to get into Hadley Chase's world.

The Way the Cookies Crumble
I Hold the Four Aces
The Whiff of Money

These made my teenage years. Strong story telling capabilities infused with suspense made Chase the legend that he is.

I still wonder y aghata Christie detective books that are soo soo boring is hailed as the best ever British detective books. silly ppl.... james hardly chase shaped my mind on.many tins.. he books where so interesting that it gave me over 50 friends growing up as we formed a chase club and buy and borrow ourselves. op u shld have added that he was a British man.and first a bookstore keeper, his books are mostly about American crime dominated society, he uses American slangs and he learnt both the location of his scenes and the slangs from American encyclopedia and dictionary. he was a marvelous writer. his books were later banned in Nigeria during OBJ's military reign cuz of its imposing characters nd popularity in NIGERIA........
