Sirheny007: Let's continue the search. Who knows maybe one day you will write it on behalf of Hardley Chase. The title sounds like him actually, the more reason why the existence of the book sounds believable. 1 Like |

haryomikun: Yeah. Just take a dive and collect your cash but because of girl... I read my first Hardley Chase too while in primary 6 (a public school o!) chai education back then sha. Many SS3 students in public schools nowadays can barely read newspaper and comprehend. By the way, how many strokes of cane or tongue lashing did you receive when you were caught with those cover pictures. It took a long time for me to convince my mum then that there is absolutely nothing like the cover picture inside. 2 Likes |

haryomikun: master story tellers can give a fiction that you will think actually happened. James hardely Chase will create fictitious towns, streets, roads, cities that never existed and describe them vividly that you will practically be seeing the pictures directly in front of you. |

soojar:As in... It was crazy though. Read about 10 James Hadley Chase books this holiday too. Currently switched to reread The Godfather again though |

soojar:I just had to shake my head at the boy mehn The art of speaking correct English sprinkled with formal words from the English vocabulary has disappeared. Even official documents portray badly constructed sentences. Just take a look at that CEO’s explanation of the Naira Marley thing to the Minister. Sub-par grammar. Woah, primary 6. That’s early too! I learned a lot words from JHC books then. ‘Pronto’ and ‘shindig’ come to mind I was smart. I was never caught! Even stole my dad’s JHC books that he borrowed from friends and never got caught once |

iamloyalty: Sorry to disappoint you, you will likely not find it anywhere because it doesn't exit As someone said, that title could have just been invented by some die hard fans of Hardley Chase who still want the Girland/malik saga to continue. Believe me, every real James hardley Chase people are talking about the existence of that book, yet none have read it. I even heard at the end of the book Malik eventually killed Girland hence the title "Bury him like a hero". But as I said, that book doesn't exist, just a phantom of our imagination as diehard supporters of JHC. |
Re: Who Is Your Favorite Author Of All Time? by Nobody: 3:42pm On Jun 30, 2020 |
soojar: A character like girland cannot be killed Chase, not to talk of been killed by Malik who is a Russian. Is very logical to believe it doesn't exist. Thanks. |

soojar: I love the way he describs restaurant and meals especially. In hit them where it hurts and a whiff of money the meals description was so vivid and salivating that I almost checked how to make those foreign meals. |

haryomikun: The girl was not the problem she supported him. The mistake he made was the careless call he made to his friend that wanted to help not knowing d the boss was listening to the call. e pain eh. |
Re: Who Is Your Favorite Author Of All Time? by Nobody: 4:08pm On Jun 30, 2020 |
haryomikun: That knock knock pain me eh, they both died at the end along with his friend that wanted to help them. |

Francine Rivers. No matter the character, circumstances or country. She remind us of the one thing that can't be taken away and makes all the difference, relationship with Jesus. 2 Likes |

iamloyalty: If you research well you will be suprised those meals don't exist. Most of the countries he was describing he never went to, most of the towns in America he describes don't exit. The guy just sits down at his table and construct a town for you with streets and roads and it just jells. 1 Like |
