Perishable Goods (Richard Chandos)

Classic Yates, this novel featuring the suave Richard Chandos was reprinted three times within the first month of publication, was warmly received by the critics, and served hugely to expand the author’s already large readership. Typically deft, fast-paced, and amusing, it contains every crime in the calendar and a heart-rending finale. A companion novel to Blind Corner, Blood Royal, An Eye for a Tooth, and Fire Below. Gripping stuff.
