JAMES HADLEY CHASE

              The Way The Cookie Crumbles

     The Florida Safe Deposit Bank of Paradise City proudly and loudly claims to be the safest bank in the world; an impregnable fortress. However, three oddly assorted persons set out to prove it wrong by planning to loot the safe deposit lockers of the bank, containing cash and jewellery worth millions. There is conman, Phil Algir, handsome, shrewd and also  a murderer. There is Ira Marsh,  blonde, full figured, sexy,  dishonest and  seventeen years of age. And there is crippled Ticky Aldris, a vicious, anti-social person with a warped mind and a warped body.. The plan is to substitute Norena, the daughter of the Vice-President of the bank, with Ira, so as to gain easy entry in the bank's vaults. Obviously Norena has to be killed.....and thus begins the series of gruesome murders in the action-packed thriller from the pen of Chase. Florida's idyllic millionaire's playground, Paradise City,  is never going to be the same again...
