The collection includes works by two English-speaking masters of detective fiction. Alistair MacLean's novel "Doll on a Chain" is a cool action movie, where the hero almost single-handedly fights tooth and nail with the drug mafia. American Earl Stanley Gardner rivals Agatha Christie in fertility and popularity. His novel “The Case of the Long-Legged Models” contains almost no combat episodes, but the most fascinating intrigue of legal proceedings is woven by the author’s constant hero, lawyer Perry Mason.
