"Not a full-length Cheney novel, but packed with first-rate stories of the best Cheney vintage, including one long-short story that in itself makes the book worth having" (from the inside flap). Reginald Evelyn Peter Southouse-Cheyney (22 February 1896 26 June 1951) was a British crime fiction writer who flourished between 1936 and 1951. Cheyney is perhaps best known for his short stories and novels about agent/detective Lemmy Caution, which, starting in 1953, were adapted into a series of French movies, all starring Eddie Constantine (however, the best known of these the 1965 science fiction film Alphaville was not directly based on a Cheyney novel). Another popular creation was the private detective Slim Callaghan who also appeared in a series of novels and subsequent film adaptations.
