Books Update: 3 green hardcovers by Peter Cheyney
*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We return to the thrillers of English author Peter Cheyney, who flourished between 1936 and 1951. Three hardcovers are just in, each with a distinctive green background cover. Two of these are in Cheyney’s Lemmy Caution series, ersatz American detective mysteries, with wonderful cover art by John Pisani and these editions are rare, particularly with their dust jackets. The third is a non-series novel, Try Anything Twice, set in England and featuring Nicholas Gale, private investigator. Full details as always in our catalogue.
