This has probably got to be the best James Hadley Chase book I've ever read. Particularly as the title was so apt to the content of the book.I first read this when I was in my ninth grade, during the year 2002. Those were the times for thrillers and fast paced books. Back then we used to have a competition, of who has read the maximum number of books in a week. James Hadley Chase provided that fast pace to finish off a book in a few hours and increase your count. When I read a book now, it's more for a literary and pleasure purpose. Not just for trophies.
