«...Хтось убив мого брата, а поліція вважає це самогубством. Ну що ж, доведеться самому у всьому розібратися...» — так думав Нік Інгліш, навіть не підозрюючи, що за кілька днів запустить такий ланцюжок подій, у яких мало сам не загине. А все тому, що стане на заваді у банди шантажистів на чолі з убивцею-психопатом... Роман «Я сам поховаю своїх мертвих» укотре доводить, що Джеймс Гедлі Чейз є одним із неперевершених майстрів детективу.

В тот день, когда неудачник Рой Инглиш покончил с собой, жизнь его старшего брата пошла под откос. Еще вчера у Ника было все – деньги, власть, любовь красивой женщины. А сегодня его преследуют полиция и опасный маньяк-убийца. Мог ли предположить преуспевающий бизнесмен, что, начав расследование гибели брата, он вступает в игру без правил с хитроумным противником, все туже затягивая петлю на собственной шее…

Мастер детективной интриги, король неожиданных сюжетных поворотов, потрясающий знаток человеческих душ, эксперт самых хитроумных полицейских уловок и даже… тонкий ценитель экзотической кухни. Пожалуй, набора этих достоинств с лихвой хватило бы на добрый десяток авторов детективных историй. Но самое поразительное заключается в том, что все эти качества характеризуют одного замечательного писателя. Первые же страницы знаменитого романа «Я хотел получить миллион» послужат пропуском в мир, полный невероятных приключений и страшных тайн, – мир книг Джеймса Хедли Чейза, в котором никому еще не было скучно.

Eastlake is the kind of place where ‘nice’ people live — nice, well-off, civilised people. People who know all about each other and where everyone knows everyone else’s business — rather like living in a goldfish bowl.

A perfect opportunity for blackmailers...

This is the terrifying opening sequence of the masterly new James Hadley Chase novel, a worthy success to a long line of best-sellers.

Enter a world of seedy nightclubs, dangerous, dimly-lit street and cool, wisecracking dicks pitting themselves against armies of ruthless gangsters. This is pulp fiction, a genre spawned amid the disillusionment of post-World War I America — and now reaching new heights of popularity.

Writers like Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett turned that unique blend of rapid-fire action, violence and cynical humour into an art form that is being recreated by a fresh wave of young writers whose stories have all the drama and atmosphere of their predecessors’.

This page-turning collection, brought together by a true aficionado of the hardboiled story, includes, of course, Chandler and Hammett, but also Mickey Spillane, Ross MacDonald, Ed McBain and James Hadley Chase from the vintage years and from the current generation James Ellroy, Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, to name just a few of the twenty great writers featured here. Even Stephen King, doyen of the world of horror, has turned his hand to pulp fiction and is represented in this book.

The world of the hard-drinking, fast-action, apparently indestructible private eye, personified by Chandler’s creation, Philip Marlowe, was never more vibrant. It’s all here, and more, in a book that no fan of the genre can afford to miss.

The Editor of a monthly crime and detection magazine assigns to two of his staff writers, Sladen and Low, the investigation of the strange disappearance of an unknown showgirl.

However, the investigators start asking questions and almost immediately things begin to happen. Witnesses arc murdered, an attempt is made to do away with the investigators. The police once more open the case. The disappearance of the showgirl is found to be only a minor part of a ruthless murder plot.

Hijacking aircrafts seems to have become the latest fashion. Everyone is at it.

This is no ordinary hijack and the plot twists and turns in true Hadley Chase style until it reaches a thrilling, nail-biting conclusion.
