And the kidnappers, Riley and his gang, had disappeared into thin air. But what none of them knew was that Riley himself had been wiped out by a rival gang — and the heiress was now in the hands of Ma Grisson and her son Slim, a vicious killer who couldn’t stay away from woman... especially his beautiful new captive. By the time Fenner began to close in on them, some terrible things had happened to Miss Blandish

‘The Flesh of the Orchid’ is a continuation of that best seller, No Orchids for Miss Blandish (over 500,000 copies sold) which needs no introduction.

Committed to a sanitarium for the insane as a suspected homicidal lunatic, Carol inherits the vast fortune left her by her grandfather, John Blandish. She escapes and while endeavouring to prove her sanity falls victim of two professional murderers, the Sullivan brothers. This is perhaps the most exciting novel to be written by Hadley Chase. Incident piles on incident and the story moves at a tremendous pace
