Nothing Venture
Beschreibung:
“I went down to the pool, and he was lying half in and half out of it with his head bleeding and the tide coming in. The water was up to his shoulders.”
The marriage between Nan Forsyth and Jervis Weare is a purely business arrangement – to Jervis. But for Nan there is true romance behind it – a romance which began for her in childhood days – and she is content to be considered for the time a scheming adventuress. But, as she soon discovers, both she and Jervis are now the targets of a golden-haired devil and her villainous partner who’ll stop at nothing in this story of lively and profound thrills.
Nothing Venture was originally published in 1932. This new edition features an introduction by crime fiction historian Curtis Evans.
