Re: James Hadley Chase: Facts You Probably Didn't Know About Him by MartinCorridon: 7:02am On Jun 20, 2018 |
My favourite characters : 1. Mark Girland (a James Bond 007 clone ) 2. Martin Corridon ( the annoying guy - my moniker) 3. Steve Harmas ( "pleasantly ugly" private eye) 4. Tom Lepski ; who appeared the most. 5. Verne Baird - the ice-cold killer in the Fast Buck On this list, 9,74,91 & 92 are ONLY ones i haven't read. I have read 88/92 I might still order in bulk for collection purposes. I paid $77 for the Mark Girland Omnibus because it was so rare 62 Likes 1 Share
