In the shadowy corners of post-war Europe, Nicholas Gale thrives in the murky interplay of love and deceit. With the grit of London's streets and the glamour of high society as his playground, Gale navigates a world where romance is a game of high stakes, and loyalty is as fleeting as the smoky aftertaste of a late-night whisky. When entangled with a woman whose beauty is outshone only by her cunning, Gale finds himself caught in a treacherous plot that threatens to unravel his life. Peter Cheyney delivers a riveting tale of espionage, seduction, and intrigue, where every friend could be a foe, and every truth hides a lie. Dare to keep up with Gale as he tries everything twice, including risking his heart in a game where the rules are written by the enemy. * * * During the short period of fifteen years, Peter Cheyney managed to write more than thirty books. Resulting in sales which run into millions of copies. Cheyney's stories are about the grim, the slick, the seductive and the amusing - just true to life as Cheyney knew it. This story has also been published as "Try Anything Twice"
