An Ace Up My Sleeve by James Hadley Chase

When three very different people come together, all out for the same

thing and prepared to go to any lengths to get it, the stakes are likely

to be high. But, for a wealthy middle-aged woman, an international

lawyer and a young American, games of bluff and counter-bluff quickly

develop into a dangerous and deadly battle. As the action hots up, Chase

weaves a fast-moving story of blackmail, intrigue and extortion with a

hair-raising climax.
