What a great writer. May he continue to rest in peace. The way he describes the characters is so out of this world

Binchim:
JHC my initiation into novel reading, so intriguing, after reading a munch my hunger for novels increased. He had the right concept, not voluminous, easy to read and comprehend and most of all, attractive covers, if u know what I mean!

Yes I know what you mean, attractive covers with sexy women, that cover always put me in trouble had to wrapped it with newspaper anytime I get hold of it

Wow... His books were such great company for me while growing up.

pocohantas:
My Laugh Comes Last
The Guilty Are Afraid

Those are my favourite JHC books.

I've owned up to 70.Lucky me, they are pretty cheap
Looking at that list, I think I have read almost all.

How does one person write so many books? Or are they short stories?

My goodness, that's nostalgic.
JHC.. my 90s companion, because of the rush to finish up and collect another one, had to spend the whole night reading it to the end..

My favorite.. THIS WAY FOR A SHROUD the killer had a penchant for killing and concealing it and making it more natural.

The most boring of his books yet was MALLORY!

have read Al his books back then, now phone and social media had done and is still killing the reading culture.

Have read all but 7 out of the list.

Ear To The Ground, my favourite.

Thanks to OP for rekindling this lost love.

The most boring of his books yet was MALLORY!

You are a real Chase man.

By 18 ,I have read almost the Hadley Chase above . He is a fantastic writer. Each piece is a movie.

Alwaysking:
I guess dey hv all the books there. BTW have you read tiger by the tail? that's the first jhd novel I read.

They didn't have all, I bought anyone that was available. It was N250 then and they were always dusty, like no one wanted them.

An Ear To The Ground, was my first
Yea, I've read that too.

An inspired writer who was said to have barely traveled to the US yet most of his scenes were in the US.

A high IQ person, it has to be said...

Read almost all in that list.....This man got me busy in my teenage years!!!!!

Will download later

I've read 25 copies of his books.

famosty:
Have plenty of his books on my system

please send some for me. enang.ekereke@gmail.com thanks bro

I read some of his novels as a teenager and I enjoyed them. I wonder why some of his novels where not used to make any blockbuster movies in my generation yet

Another writer I liked his novels is Nick Carter. He's a brilliant bahd guy

Ate them for dinner in my toughening up years.

please share with me. enang.ekereke@gmail.com

My first was Like a Hole in the Head. I entered to clean the guest room when I found the book. Out of curiosity I opened the book, i sat on the bed till I finished it. I couldn't leave the room. From then on, i kept reading JHC.

#000000

Please can i have the e-copies as well, please i'll be very grateful~ drealernest@gmail.com
Thanks a million as i anticipate a favourable response...

As a young man I loved reading that guy books,I was surprised to mention it to a lot of people in Europe and many don't know him and never heard of him.

He was a great fictionist,I always wanted to carry out operations based on his ideas,Thank God I didn't,I probably would have ended up in jail.

Brings back golden memories. The James Hadley Chase and Nick Carter Eras.
Those great days when you were Top Gun among your mates if you had any of these Thrillers.
I read almost all JHC listed.
I carefully looked out for " This way for a Shroud" on OP's listed titles but didn't see it. That title is one of JHC rare copies, and rank as one of my best of his books.
The way the Cookie Crumbles.
Safer Dead.
Coffin From Hongkong, and all Titles that feature Tom Lipsky were my favorites
James Hadley is arguably one of the best of his times.

Mario Puzo. Jeffrey Archer, Leon Uris, Dean Koontz, Robert Ludlum, Dan Brown are the Masters of Thrillers now.

He was a genius in fiction writing.

priceaction:
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 kindly upload the pacesetters books on Google drive and share or share link to download em books?
thanks aplenty

I thought I've read all of JHC novels but seeing this list; there are few I need to download.

Wow one of my favorite books while growing up. Started with a lotus for miss Quon and became addicted. Those were sweet years we read and read. In fact I had so many novels my bag was a mini library we exchanged novels in my jss 3 class, everyone was just reading our class is always quiet during break. Hmmmm memories

Threads like this are the reason NairaLand was created Educative, Informative and Evocative.
First heard about him from a secondary school pal with nom de guerre "Suzi"
My first was a " Paw in Bottle "
Probably read about 80 on the list.
@Op good one!

Amazinpeace:
Yes I know what you mean, attractive covers with sexy women, that cover always put me in trouble had to wrapped it with newspaper anytime I get hold of it

same with me always had to cover it with newspaper whenever I read them.

The major issue I had with the books was that they usually have scantily clad blondes holding a pistol in a provocative pose.
Other than that. JHC ==Excellente!
@Op good one!

All his books is about crime..

My goodness, that's nostalgic.
JHC.. my 90s companion, because of the rush to finish up and collect another one, had to spend the whole night reading it to the end..

My favorite.. THIS WAY FOR A SHROUD the killer had a penchant for killing and concealing it and making it more natural.

The most boring of his books yet was MALLORY!

have read Al his books back then, now phone and social media had done and is still killing the reading culture.

You were an ardent JHC reader to depict these 2fact about " This way for a Shroud" and " Mallory".

Mallory was so boringly different that I was almost certain he didn't write it.
The write badly twisted the story he ended up confusing himself ( not me)
I once read an article that suggested that there were 2 other writers that wrote under the JHC label. I bought the narrative to some extent.
