Life is short (soft cover). Chase J.Kh.

Rene Reimond, known to the whole world under the pseudonym James Hadley Chase, became famous in the genre of the “cool” detective. He left the family of a retired British officer, and his father forgave Rene's career as a scientist. But at the age of 18, the future writer left his studies and left his parental house forever. He constantly changed the work and tried a lot of professions before he became an agent in the distribution of books, thoroughly studying the book business from the inside. Subsequently, with irony, he recalled: “... I had to knock at least a hundred thousand doors, and for each of them could meet any of the characters of his future novels... And so much I had to get wet in the rain that no one is able to get me out of the house now In damp weather... ”For half a century of writing, Chase created about ninety novels who enjoyed the unchanging success of readers of different countries, and about fifty of them were filmed. This publication publishes novels written by Chase in the early 1950s-“Life is short” and “This is what men do.”
