The latest installment of the "Spies. Case No...." series features works by Soviet writer Georgy Kubansky (1907–1976), an author who skillfully combined action-packed adventures with intense spy intrigue. His novella "Grinka, the Red Avenger" (1956) opens: Grinka, a street kid and "lone Bolshevik," finds himself caught in the whirlwind of the Civil War, where dexterity and ingenuity become weapons no less powerful than a revolutionary Mauser. In "The Mystery of the Semuzhya River" (1958), schoolboy Vaska Kalabukhov disappears from a remote northern village, and the search launched by three Komsomol friends gradually leads the heroes to a dangerous secret, where the ill will of others is discerned behind coincidences, and the security of our northern lands is at stake. In the story "More Valuable Than Life" (1964), border guards engage in combat with a saboteur—a duel not only with an armed enemy but also with the merciless northern elements. The final story, "Dangerous Witness" (1967), is a spy intrigue set at sea: a night watch on a trawler turns disastrous, and rescue on a foreign vessel becomes the beginning of a game in which a Soviet sailor must make a choice and try to escape the traps set.
