This man is dangerous.
14.99 €
A classic hard-boiled detective story from a renowned English writer. The first three novels about the investigations of FBI agent Lemmy Caution.
This Man Is Dangerous
Two rival gangster gangs are preparing to kidnap the daughter of an American millionaire. In their opinion, it is more convenient to do this in England, where the flighty and indiscriminate thrill-seeker has gone to "learn about life." It would seem that everything is thought out to the smallest detail, but then FBI agent Lemmy Caution appears, who is mistaken for a lone gangster with his own interests.
Poison Ivy
The US Treasury Department needs to send gold bars worth a huge amount to its English colleagues. The operation is kept strictly secret, but, as often happens, information leaks. Two daring gangsters come up with a way to intercept the precious cargo, and this time Lemmy Caution will have to pretend to be a provincial businessman who has come to New York for the first time to have some fun.
The ladies don't care
It depends on which ladies. Paulette Benito really doesn't care about anything except money and her own well-being. But Henrietta Ames is facing the electric chair for a crime she didn't commit. Moreover, this story would never have surfaced if Henrietta hadn't come to the bank in a Californian town to cash a registered bond that unexpectedly turned out to be counterfeit. How could this have happened? When Henrietta received the bonds from her husband, she was sure of their authenticity. Lemmy Caution, who was assigned by the FBI to investigate this case, asks himself the same question.
The novels included in this collection are published in new translations.
