No orchids for Miss Blandish

Rene Reimond, known to the whole world under the pseudonym, James Hadley Chase, left the family of a retired British officer, and his father forgave Rene a career as a scientist. But at the age of 18, the future writer left his studies and left his parental house forever. He tried a lot of professions before he became an agent in the distribution of books and thoroughly studied the book business from the inside. Subsequently, Chase recalled: “... I had to knock at a hundred thousand doors, and for each of them I could meet any of the characters of my future novels ...” During almost half a century of writing, Chase created about ninety novels who enjoyed unchanged success among readers of different countries , and about fifty of them were filmed.
The novel “No Orchids for Miss Blandish” (1939) is included in the publication - the first “Cool Detective” Chase, who brought the author of world fame, as well as “Bad news from the dolls” (1940, 1970) and “Flat orchids” (1948), which became a kind of continuation of Miss Blandish
