The smell of money

Rene Reimond, known to the whole world under the pseudonym, James Hadley Chase, became famous in the genre of the “cool” detective. He left the family of a retired British officer, and his father forgave Rene"s career as a scientist. But at the age of 18, the future writer left his studies and left his parental house forever. He constantly changed his work and tried a lot of professions before he became an agent of the distributor of books, thoroughly studying the book business from the inside. Subsequently, he recalled with irony: “... I had to knock at least a hundred thousand doors, and for each of them could meet any of the characters of his future novels ... and I had to get wet in the rain so much that no one can get me out of the house now In damp weather ... ”For half a century of writing, Chase created about ninety novels who enjoyed the unchanged success among readers of different countries, and about fifty of them were filmed.
This publication publishes the Romanov cycle about the CIA agent Mark Girland, created by Chase in 1965–1969. For the first time in Russian, four novels that made up this cycle are printed under one cover
