Synopsis

All sorts and conditions of ladies and gentlemen found their way into the expensively furnished, well-appointed Ventura Club. You could get anything you liked there if you knew how to ask for it.

Slim Callaghan is called to Devonshire to investigate a burglary at Margraud Manor, where valuable jewels – heirlooms of the Vendayne family insured for £100,000 – have disappeared.

With his assistant, Windemere Nikolls, he discovers some startling facts – particularly about the lovely Esme Vendayne – and the mystery leads Callaghan to a shady London nightclub and a violent underworld.

You Can’t Keep The Change was originally published in 1940.

‘Peter Cheyney is the Damon Runyon of crime’ The Times

‘Slim Callaghan’s quick wit and knowledge of rough and tumble place him in the top ranks of private eyes. What a man!’ New York Times

À propos de l'auteur

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.
