A classic of a cool detective story from a famous English writer. The fourth, fifth, and sixth novels are about the investigations of FBI agent Lemmy Cohen. Can ladies kill?When the director of the FBI received a letter from a certain Marella Thorensen with hints of national crimes, he sent Lemmy Cohen to solve the mystery. Arriving at the author of the letter at the appointed time, Lemmy found that the house was empty, and Marella had strangely disappeared. A seemingly trivial case will result in a difficult investigation, during which Lemmy will encounter smugglers, hired killers, the Chinese mafia and deadly beauties. Don't get me wrong, two chemical scientists, an Englishman and an American, independently engaged in the development of a toxic gas capable of becoming a new generation weapon. In such a situation, it is quite logical to join forces to ensure quick success. It was decided to settle the chemists in a quiet hacienda in the Mexican countryside. But soon the leader of one of the Chicago gangster gangs becomes aware of this.…You won't believe it!The Pittsburgh steel king's son is missing. After some time, it turns out: This is not another escape of a young madcap from his parents' house, but a kidnapping, and a rather strange one at that. For some reason, the kidnappers are in no hurry to name the ransom amount and do not make themselves known at all. And then the daughter falls madly in love with a Russian count, a handsome and "real colonel", and goes to her chosen one in Paris. It would seem that another scandal in a noble family. But it's 1940, and the Steel King is manufacturing weapons for England.…The novels included in this collection are published in new translations.
