The twelfth volume of the Collected Works includes the novels: “You'll Be Alone in Your Grave” - about the crime in the family of a millionaire, "The Case of the Strangled Starlet" - about the murder of an actress, "It's None of My Business" - the story of an investigation conducted by an American correspondent in England.
