James Hadley Chase Libros

Reporter Nick Mason witnesses an execution and gains a clue from the condemned man, sending Nick into a network of crime and murder!

Ladrones de bancos, policías corruptos de mentes sádicas, una rica heredera secuestrada y proclive a enamorarse, drogas, perversiones sexuales, y, por encima de todo, Slim Grisson, un psicópata asesino. Este tenebroso rompecabezas llegó a las manos de Robert Aldrich que se encargó de filmar las andanzas de Ma Grisson, una madre perversa, y su banda. El secuestro de miss Blandish, primera novela del autor, fue redactada en pocas semanas y le dio la fama instantáneamente.

Vessi va a morir por un crimen que no cometió y un grupo de periodistas acude a la cárcel para presenciar la ejecución. Sobre Nick Mason recae la macabra suerte de escuchar las últimas palabras que el condenado pronuncia: «Se equivocaron de hombre –dijo con voz no del todo segura–. Yo no lo hice». Y le da el nombre del asesino. A partir de ahí, ni los anónimos, ni las amenazas, ni la certeza de que su vida peligra conseguirán apartarle del caso.
