Raymond Chandler, I believe, sued "Chase" for his plagarism
at one
point. The offending novel was a British publication which
was issued under
another name. The details, such as they are, are in the
McShane bio of Chandler.
_No Orchids For Miss Blandish_, while not a straight steal,
is about
as big a rip-off of _Sanctuary_ as one could hope to see. It
is also a very
ineptly written book. Nontheless, I think it would be a good
book for the
list simply because it was a mega-seller and had an impact on
the genre.
