Can Ladies Kill?

A classic of cool detective fiction by the renowned English writer. The fourth, fifth, and sixth novels about the investigations of FBI agent Lemmy Causen.
Can ladies kill?
When the FBI director received a letter from a certain Marella Thorenson hinting at... state-scale crimes, he sent Lemmy Causen to unravel the mystery. Arriving at the author's home at the appointed time, Lemmy discovered that the house was empty, and Marella had bizarrely disappeared. What seemed like a trivial case would turn into a challenging investigation where Lemmy would encounter smugglers, hired killers, the Chinese mafia, and dangerously beautiful women.
Understand me correctly
Two chemist scientists, an Englishman and an American, independently embarked on developing a poisonous gas capable of becoming a new generation weapon. In such a situation, it makes perfect sense to combine efforts to ensure quick success. It was decided to house the chemists in a quiet hacienda in a Mexican backwater. But soon this becomes known to the leader of one of the Chicago gangster gangs…
You won't believe it!
The son of the Pittsburgh 'steel king' goes missing. After some time, it turns out: this is not another escape of a young madman from his parents' house, but a rather strange kidnapping. The kidnappers, for some reason, are in no hurry to name a ransom amount and do not make contact at all. And then the daughter falls hopelessly in love with a Russian count, a handsome 'real colonel,' and heads to Paris to be with her chosen one. It seems like yet another scandal in a noble family. But it's 1940, and the 'steel king' is engaged in arms production for England…
The novels included in this collection are published in new translations.
