Peter Cheyney 
Sorry You’ve Been Troubled [EPUB ebook] 
A Slim Callaghan Thriller

поддержка

Effie said: ‘You’re expecting trouble?’ She felt scared.

Callaghan said: ‘I’ve been expecting trouble all my life, Effie, and I usually get it.’

Slim Callaghan, of Callaghan Investigations, the world famous detective and connoisseur of women, is at work again. Ruthless, tough, cynical, Slim was just getting wise to the game of Nicky Starata, an overly-smooth poker player, when he got involved in the mysterious Admiral Gardell case.

No one asked Slim Callaghan to investigate — but they had to like it. A £40, 000 insurance claim, two beautiful dames and possibly a fake suicide were at stake.

Callaghan’s motto was, ‘We get there somehow and who the hell cares how’. He got there and got himself a client, eventually — an exquisitely lovely one . . .

Sorry You’ve Been Troubled was originally published in 1942.

Об авторе

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.
