James Hadley Chase

Are you a James Hadley Chase fan? I love his thrillers, all of them still make an interesting read.

They are from a time when there was no technology around to spoil the fun, no mobiles, computers, fax machines, and men were men (and women, women).

Please post your thoughts

Am a fan of JHC books. I read them way back in the mid-eighties. I like to have access to the pdf copies if available. Anyone who can direct me to where I can find them on the internet, please help.

Read JT Edson and his westerns with Dusty Fogg, the left handed gun slinger as the hero :O)

JHC was one of my favorite, and had almost read all of his novels.

Particularly liked Detectives Tom Lepski.

I got a few JHC books, as pdf, and it still is as interesting as it was during my school days 20 years ago.

Who else can have a non-PC title like "Twelve Chinks and a woman". The plot is always predictable, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

Please don't joke about such things..

I am a JHC fan..

Those were the good old days.. Before feminism and political correctness. When men were men and sheep were scared..

What happened to those days ?
