The eighth book in the “Foreign Crime Novel” series includes works by the most popular American writer. The novels he wrote repeatedly occupied the top positions on the bestseller lists over the years. The reader is invariably attracted to his work not only by the dynamism and sharpness of the plot development, the originality of the characters of the main characters - as a rule, this is a strong personality forced to act in exceptional situations - but also by the powerful lyrical, “spiritual” side of his works.
