I've changed my mind. I think i should give others  chance to participate. Bagoma should answer question three for me.

Vito Ferrari only featured in "his way for a shroud" he's good but i don't like him  Embarrassed if youre voting, chose between Tom lepski, Vic Malloy and Mark Girland, those are regular and more interesting characters.

Quiz four on the way.

cushman your prize will reach you, please be patient...........................my schedule had been crazy of late

I introduced myself, he said he knew me already i guess GOLDFISH HAS NO HIDING PLACE, he smiled and replied THATS JUST THE WAY IT IS. we got talking and when i told him ID RATHER STAY POOR but he insisted YOURE DEAD WITHOUT MONEY.  listened to him with AN EAR TO THE GROUND and thought about it for a while, enjoy life and be rich have as many friends as make you happy afterall YOURE LONELY WHEN YOURE DEAD.

it happened my boss message was a code, when i returned to my boss and at the door we got a response from inside KNOCK, KNOCK WHO'S THERE.

Bagoma, please take it from there

Fourth Quiz:

Make an enticing story line with twenty (20) James Hadley Chase titles like the ones made my corlay and myself above, without including the ones already used by myself and corlay.

The best entry wins the fourth copy of James hadley chase.

 Hey Bagoma, lets give Nice2have a little treat ok???
Here goes, sorry if i broke all da rules!!!!!

CHAPTER ONE
BELIEVE THIS You’LL BELIEVE ANYTHING, I once had a girl called EVE, she was a COME EASY GO EASY, type of girl. She would HAVE A NICE NIGHT with anyone STRICTLY FOR CASH, she was very beautiful as GOLDFISH HAVE NO HIDING PLACE, well being a jealous chap our liason was going the WAY THE COOKIE CRUMBLES……………………………………

CHAPTER TWO
So I planned that she would be SAFER DEAD and MY LAUGH WOULD COME LAST, not that I was BELIEVED VIOLENT, but THE WHIFF OF MONEY and the FAST BUCK was THE DOLLS BAD NEWS and YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN because she WAS TRUSTED LIKE THE FOX, anyway she had BUT A SHORT TIME TO LIVE, and I WILL LAY HER AMONG THE LILIES buried in a COFFIN FROM HONGKONG……………………………………

CHAPTER THREE
My plan made me feel high, as if i had the WORLD IN MY POCKET, until  MALLORY her lover, who had AN EAR TO THE GROUND had the luck to GET A LOAD OF THIS my plan, he cornered me trying to blackmail me saying “I HOLD THE FOUR ACES now, I denied it and told him “YOU MUST BE KIDDING, besides WHY PICK ON ME?.He said if you don’t cooperate then CONSIDER YOURSELF DEAD!!! I replied I aint scared of you’re a$$ and watch it because You’VE GOT IT COMING!! Later that night I engaged the services of a HIT AND RUN driver, gave him a bottle of beer and said HAVE THIS ONE ON ME and told him my plan, he gave me a leery grin and said “THERES ALWAYS A PRICE TAG for anything, YOU HAVE YOURSELF A DEAL, pally”!!! “HIT THEM WHERE IT HURTS most”, I told him referring to Mallory and his goons. “LIKE A HOLE IN THE HEAD?”, he enquired, “You jus FIND HIM AND I”LL FIX HIM boss”, he muttered.
That night, Mallory’s crumpled body went THIS WAY FOR A SHROUD. I then went over to Eve’s and said “WELL NOW MY PRETTY……, ”and for the last time tasted THE FLESH OF THE ORCHID, haha THE THINGS MEN DO!!! Then I strangled her, now I’LL BURY MY DEAD, then HAVE A CHANGE OF SCENE. Maybe a MISSION TO SIENNA? Who knows!!! Anyway since the DEAD STAY DUMB, THE GUILTY ARE (not) AFRAID!!!!!,

CHAPTER FOUR
3 MONTHS LATER………………….

ONE BRIGHT SUMMER MORNING, as I was relaxing on the beach and watching the scantily clad girls having fun on an island off the Florida keys, I came across CADE, I couldn’t get my eyes off her body…, we got talking and later went up to my hotel room, where I gave her a SHOCK TREATMENT!! FIGURE IT OUT FOR YOURSELF she fell flat for me!!!!, well as they THE VULTURE IS A PATIENT BIRD, we are getting married!!! And I think I will CATCH THE TIGER BY THE TAIL and invite Tom Lepski, Maddox and the maestro James Hadley Chase himself,to the wedding and of course u guys at Nairaland are invited too!!! Mr Nice2have will be my best man, Bagoma, u can be a bridesmaid!!! Cushman can u be the usher???
THIS IS FOR REAL, yes o!!! If u don’t believe it, then TELL IT TO THE BIRDS!!! Anyway I gave all you guys the SUCKER PUNCH!!!!!!! Hahahahahahahahahahaahha

CURTAINS…………….EPILOGUE

Oops before I forget, when I die, WE’LL (all) SHARE A DOUBLE FUNERAL!!! And please do u know any thing about flowers? When you come across exotic ones, save A LOTUS FOR MISS QUON, but NO ORCHIDS FOR MISS BLANDISH!!!!! (because she pisses me off)!!!!!

**Rain was falling heavily, and the wind felt bleak against his face. He stood for some seconds looking at the embankment, letting his eyes become accustomed to the darkness. Nothing moved. He would have to take a chance, he thought, and ran the landing plank, from the barge, down to the wet tarmac. He slid down the plank, gained the dark shadows and again paused to listen. Again he heard nothing to alarm him. His fingers tightened on the flail and keeping close to the embankment wall, he walked silently to the distant steps that led to the upper embankment. **

Can anyone tell me the title of this Chase?
