Peter Cheyney

Mr Cheyney has transported to England not only the American 'mobsters', but also their brilliantly witty and lightning repartee. With his obvious gift for characterisation we are presented with a story that surpasses the thrilling pace, convincing realism and entertainment value of such films as The Thin Man and The Big Sleep. This Man Is Dangerous is the story of organised gangsters operating the kidnapping or 'snatch' racket; the laying of a plot, worked out to the minutest detail, to 'snatch' the daughter of an American millionaire while she is in England; a plot that must not only account for the actual luring of the victim into the snare and the collecting of the ransom money, but must forbid interference from the English police and 'muscling-in' by rival gangs.

When Lemmy Caution is hired to find a missing woman, he quickly realizes that there's more to the case than meets the eye. As he navigates the dangerous streets of post-World War II London, he encounters a colorful cast of characters, including shady underworld figures and alluring women with their own secrets. With his sharp wit and relentless determination, Caution must untangle a web of deception and betrayal to uncover the truth.

"In Dangerous Curves I have attempted to show both emerging and expert designers how, in an age of computer-dominated design, the designer can turn to their very own hands for both inspiration and solution. The only way to create a logotype that is truly unique is for the designer to transcend the limitations of the available fonts and typefaces on the market. Dangerous Curves provides a roadmap for that very worthy endeavor." —DY.

Fiction. Thriller.

Ludicrous all-action comic with no pictures. Characters thinner than paper. Move along- nothing to read here.
