Description

From Perry Mason-creator Erle Stanley Gardner comes a lost classic of detective fiction featuring private eyes Donald Lam (once played by Frank Sinatra!) and Bertha Cool.

'About the best of the series... perhaps since the very first.' Raymond Chandler

Private investigators Bertha Cool and Donald Lam, stars of five of Hard Case Crimes most popular novels, return to solve their toughest case yet.

Hired to prevent a socialite from poisoning her husband, Donald Lam dreams up an ingenious scheme involving a carton of anchovy paste and a fictitious national ad campaign. But when the whole thing backfires spectacularly and bodies, witnesses, and suspects start piling up, itll take every ounce of Donalds brainpower and Berthas bruising ruthlessness to keep the police at bay and a killer from getting away with murder.

'Another ebullient dash down Memory Lane with Los Angeles private eyes Bertha Cool and Donald Lamgreat fun.' Kirkus Reviews

Author Bio

One of the best-selling authors of all time, Erle Stanley Gardner's greatest creations include crusading attorney Perry Mason (star of more than eighty novels, a TV series and TV movies) and the hardboiled detective team of Bertha Cool and Donald Lam, who appeared in more than two dozen adventures. An attorney himself, Gardner also founded the Court of Last Resort, a group that investigated criminal cases they believed had ended in wrong convictions.
