Product Description
Synopsis
'Lord Clive' bought his lordship at a 'Lord of the Manor' sale where titles fetch anything from two to two hundred thousand pounds. Why not buy another cheap and sell it high? Why stop at only one customer? Clive leaves the beautiful Jane Strachey to handle his American buyers, each of whom imagines himself a lord. But Clive was careless who he sold to, and among his victims are a shrewd businessman, a hell-fire preacher and a vicious New York gangster. When lawyers pounce and guns slide from their holsters Strachey finds she needs more than good looks and a silver tongue to save her life. A brilliant page-turner from 'the best of Britain's darker crime writers' (The Times)
From the Publisher
Russell James is best known for his novels of dark noir, usually set in South London, but this new book offers a change of direction and of location. Pick Any Title is a fast-moving thriller, offering laughs, shocks and something of a sting in the tail and is set partly in the USA, but largely in the rural west of England. Russell was Chairman of the Crime Writers' Association from 2001-2002 and is regarded among authors as something of a writer's writer. Imagine Donald E Westlake crossed with George P Pelecanos, with bags of Russell James's trademark snappy style and you'll have the idea. A great read, full of wit, style and thrills.
