*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: We return to the thrillers of English author Peter Cheyney, who flourished between 1936 and 1951. Three hardcovers are just in, all in inexpensive editions, but all featuring very attractive dust jacket covers, two by the stylish David Wright. One is a non-series title (Dressed To Kill), the others are from Cheyney’s Dark series, thriller espionage fiction which foreshadowed the 1960s cold war spy fiction which was to follow. All towards the end of his career. More details, including condition notes, may be found in our catalogue.
