About This Item
London: Robert Hale/The Thriller Book Club. Book Club (BCE/BOMC). Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 12mo. [N.d., 1957]. Full yellow cloth. 255 pp. Bumping to corners and to edges of boards. Dust jacket chipped at spine ends, corners, and foot of rear cover, long tear to rear joint, a few short tears, sunning to spine, soiling to rear. Set against the background of a rich, gangster-ridden city on the Pacific Coast, James Hadley Chase in this new thriller tells the story of a lone investigator's hunt for his partner's killer. From the opening sentence to the last the tension mounts, as the avenging private eye pursues his quarry through every barrier and trap set up by the hoodlums. Written with the expert technique that gives to all Hadley Chase's novels their tremendous punch and drive, The Guilty are Afraid is a worthy addition to this long list of non-stop, all-action thrillers that have to be read at a sitting.
