VintageFair condition with a small visible tear to the cover, creasing along the edges and spine, and one torn page. Published in 1961.
Private detectives Bertha Cool and Donald Lam are drawn into a case involving gold, questionable investments and people whose stories do not quite add up. What begins as a business problem soon develops into a dangerous puzzle of deception, hidden motives and murder. Lam’s quick thinking and unconventional methods lead him through a maze of suspects while Bertha keeps a sharp eye on the agency’s interests. A. A. Fair delivers a brisk, hard-boiled mystery filled with clever reversals, dry humour and the lively partnership that defines the Cool and Lam series.
