I am thinkin’ about Adolf Hitler. I am thinkin’ that if it was not for this guy I would probably be kickin’ around some swell place in the U.S. takin’ things nice an’ easy.
Cara, Gayda, Pearl: three sizzling dames. Travis, Clemensky, Clansing: three desperate men. Add a set of secret papers. Bring in FBI man Lemmy Caution to recover the papers. Mix well and serve for another classic and fast-moving story of espionage, deception and double dealing.
Lemmy Caution once again steers his way round the bodies of dead men and beautiful, very much alive, women to a successful conclusion.
You Can Always Duck was originally published in 1942.

เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
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.
