In the morgue office there ain`t anybody there at all. We go through the office into the corpse room. I switch on the light an` there we start pullin` out the trays with the stiffs on.

We found the morgue attendant all right. He was in number five tray lookin` sorta surprised. Which he was entitled to be ... Somebody had shot this guy three times.

Reginald Evelyn Peter Southouse Cheyney was born in Whitechapel in the East End of London. After serving as a lieutenant during the First World War, he worked as a police reporter and freelance investigator until he found success with his first Lemmy Caution novel. In his lifetime Cheyney was a prolific and wildly successful author, selling, in 1946 alone, over 1.5 million copies of his books. His work was also enormously popular in France, and inspired Jean-Luc Godard`s character of the same name in his dystopian sci-fi film Alphaville. The master of British noir, in Lemmy Caution Peter Cheyney created the blueprint for the tough-talking, hard-drinking pulp fiction detective.
