James Hadley Chase (Rene Brabazon Raymond) was born in London in
1906 and started his career as a bookseller. With the aid of a
dictionary of American slang and reference books on the American
underworld he wrote his first novel, NO ORCHIDS FOR MISS BLANDISH,
over six weekends. The book achieved remarkable popularity and
became one of the best-sold books of the decade. FLESH OF THE
ORCHID is a wild, thrill-ride of a sequel to NO ORCHIDS. Taking up
the story 22 years later, the central figure is once again a
Blandish girl, but Carol Blandish is not the helpless victim that
her mother was. Indeed, she is a volatile blend of simmering
sexuality, strained innocence and hair-trigger cruelty. Her
explosive outbursts of savage violence make her a force to be
reckoned with. Escaping from a mental institute during a raging
storm, and definitely off her meds, Carol Blandish is soon pursued
by a seedy cast of characters who all want a piece of the Blandish
fortune. The novel bristles with crazy plot twists,
edge-of-the-seat suspense and intriguing low-life's who mix it up
for an immensely enjoyable read.
