79 park avenue is not a James Hadley Chase novel. If I remenber correctly, that is one of Harrold Robin's classic.

That novel was the bomb , especially the female protagonist.  The way Harrold described the chic kind of want to make You  Wink

yeah guys let's keep this alive. my favourite was " the dead stay dumb, and "want to stay alive?'. A fellow called Dillon, who loved toting a thompson told another gangster.
' soon i will be running this town, u may come in through the groundfloor or stay out, 
   stay out and one dark night someone going to toss a handful of slugs into your belly, so
   get wise".

I also liked double shuffle and dolls bad news.

Yeah, a woman who was married to a rich guy and wanted him killed to get the insurance claims.


I have a lot of James Hadley Chase novels that my sis handed to me and i haven't read. I think about 20. Some are torn but readable nonetheless.

I have not read up to ten of his books but I think that the man is something else. His power of description, the flow,  the atmosphere, the action,  the characters  Detective Lepski, that's my man

These are the only ones I remember reading, all in High school. My friend Maria was my supplier then. Her father had a lot in his collection.

Flesh of the orchid
The guilty are afraid
Just another sucker
The Sucker's punch

Flesh of the orchid was my first JHC novel and till date it still my favorite.

I had once read a chase novel about gangsters where some gangsters plan to blow up a gangsters den by placing explosives in the sewers/drains.

Could you inform me the name of the novel.
