A classic of cool detective fiction by the renowned English writer. The first three novels about the investigations of FBI agent Lemmy Causen.
This Man is Dangerous
Two rival gangster gangs are planning to kidnap the daughter of an American millionaire. In...
their opinion, it is more convenient to do this in England, where a reckless and indiscriminate thrill-seeker has gone to «experience life». It would seem that everything is thought out down to the smallest detail, but then FBI agent Lemmy Causen appears, who is mistaken for a lone gangster with his own interests.
Poison Ivy
The U.S. Department of the Treasury needs to send gold bars worth a huge sum to its English colleagues. The operation is kept strictly confidential, but, as is often the case, there is a leak of information. Two daring gangsters devise a way to intercept the precious cargo, and this time Lemmy Causen will have to pose as a provincial businessman visiting New York for the first time to have fun.
The Ladies Don't Care
It depends on which ladies. For Benito, it truly doesn't matter at all, except for money and his own well-being. However, Henrietta Ames faces the electric chair for a crime she did not commit. Moreover, this story would not have surfaced at all if Henrietta hadn't gone to the bank in a California town to cash a named bond that unexpectedly turned out to be counterfeit. How could this happen? Receiving bonds from her husband, Henrietta was certain of their authenticity. That same question is posed by Lemmy Causen, who has been assigned by the FBI to investigate this case.
The novels included in this collection are published in new translations.
