It seemed like a good idea at the time to ex-paratroop sergeant Harry Mitchell, home after three years in the deadly jungles of Vietnam. Head south to Florida, get a summer job, soak up some sun, relax a bit. But when he got to Paradise City he found himself drawn into a lethal set-up where dumped corpses, smuggling operations, over-ambitious cops, hired killers and a sexy little double-crosser called Nina combined to make life very unhealthy.

Typical trip Hammer Chase. Thought the ending was a bit too quick with easy escape for the protagonist but nevertheless enjoyed reading this one.
JHC writes to be read and evokes an interest till the end. A fast fiction that goes with the pace, never bores one and is timeless. His every character in every novel depicts strength, beauty, skill, quaint and subtle all-in one fold apt to the flow of narration. The rhythm never breaks.
A decent book to read while traveling. I liked the character description, but the first 30 to 40 pages in the book were just fillers. This is my first James Hadley Chase book.
My first James Hadley Chase , and yes it's quite a good leaf from the pulp fiction annals of the 60s and 70s !!! Glad I didn't judge the book by its sleazy cover , though !!
JHC is almost like a genre in his own right. Although the covers invariably include a scantily clad woman holding a revolver, the books are actually amazingly well written. He has a style that is incredibly gripping. Had he been around today I think he would have been in the same league as James Patterson.This is classic Hadley Chase and a rip-roaring adventure from start to finish.As pulp fiction goes, which this undoubtedly is, this is amongst the best in the genre. It won't be everyone's cup
