‚Some wise guy – Confucius or somebody – said there was nothin‘ like the truth, which is a thing that I believe in – sometimes. Anyhow, I am goin‘ to try this nothin‘ but the truth stuff on this dame I spoke to. What can I lose, anyway?‘
When Julia Wayles is kidnapped in the US and taken to England, FBI agent Lemmy Caution finds himself caught up in a tangled web of intrigue and international espionage. Julia is being held by two American mobsters, who may or may not be who they say they are. And as usual it’s the dames in the story who distract Lemmy from business.
Never a Dull Moment was originally published in 1942.

Über den Autor
Reginald Evelyn Peter Southouse Cheyney was born in Whitechapel in the East End of London. After serving as a lieutenant during the First World War, he worked as a police reporter and freelance investigator until he found success with his first Lemmy Caution novel. In his lifetime Cheyney was a prolific and wildly successful author, selling, in 1946 alone, over 1.5 million copies of his books. His work was also enormously popular in France, and inspired Jean-Luc Godard’s character of the same name in his dystopian sci-fi film Alphaville. The master of British noir, in Lemmy Caution Peter Cheyney created the blueprint for the tough-talking, hard-drinking pulp fiction detective.Dieses Ebook kaufen – und ein weitere GRATIS erhalten!
