The request comes through Cornelius Gorman, the agent of Veda Rux, whose beauty makes Jackson less cautious than the circumstances deserve. He accepts, allowing the prospect of money and his attraction to Veda to override questions he should have asked. What follows reveals how little he understands about the people employing him and the purpose behind the proposed deception. James Hadley Chase builds a hard-edged crime story around greed, manipulation and a man’s willingness to believe an appealing explanation. As danger closes in, Jackson must recognise that a seemingly simple transaction has made him useful to far more ruthless interests.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67908746051796,"sku":"TVJ-035135","price":23.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-035135-1.jpg?v=1792634452","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/tvj-035135","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
