Twelve Chinks and a Woman

Dave Fenner, the reporter turned detective featured in Chase's first novel, "No Orchids for Miss Blandish", returns in "Twelve Chinks and a Woman", a novel in which love, passion, violence, and suspense are skilfully blended in Chase's trademark style, a mix of hard men, soft ladies, and unrelenting action. Set in New York and Florida, this is the story of a hard-boiled private eye with an attitude halfway between wiseguy and saint, who fights a most vicious racket.
