You Can Always Duck

I am thinkin'' about Adolf Hitler. I am thinkin'' that if it was not for this guy I would probably be kickin'' around some swell place in the U.S. takin'' things nice an'' easy.

Cara, Gayda, Pearl: three sizzling dames. Travis, Clemensky, Clansing: three desperate men. Add a set of secret papers. Bring in FBI man Lemmy Caution to recover the papers. Mix well and serve for another classic and fast-moving story of espionage, deception and double dealing.

Lemmy Caution once again steers his way round the bodies of dead men and beautiful, very much alive, women to a successful conclusion.

You Can Always Duck was originally published in 1942.
