This is really big! He’s mostly out of print, forgotten by most of publishing (except for Harlequin), and readers like me are frustrated by not being able to read everything he wrote.
Yesterday, via olympiapress on Twitter, I learned there are three eBook editions of James Hadley Chase for free — including the epic one that is immortal:
This novel is cited again and again in reference works about noir, crime fiction, and outsider writers. I’ve never had a chance to read it because it’s been out of print. Now I will!
Run over to here and grab all three free eBooks!

One of my favorite writers, and seriously under-rated. He reminds me a bit of Lee Childs.
James Hadley Chase is the best writer ever lived, One of the best novel I read in my life is from James Hadley Chase (The world in my pocket) And there haven never been anything like it ever.
I loved Chase’s novels, they were great, very exceptional. Its sad that they are out of print, they are not even found where one would expect oldies like those selling. I will still be chancing them.
I love his books. when I started to read I am unable to pur it aside.
I hope I could read all his books.
James Hadley Chase is one best author I have ever come across. His work has influenced my speaking and writing pattern.

He is a great author. I love his stories. I have most of his novels in hard copy. My dad started the collection in late 70’s and I took over in the 90’s. Now i hunt in the almost extinct used book stores and occasionally find a copy i haven’t read.
I guess it is time for me to re-read them again in the e-book format.

I love his books. They inspired me. He’s my true role model.
