About this ebook
A hot-headed PI's missing person case leads to murder in this mystery by the creator of Perry Mason and author of Owls Don't Blink.
Bertha Cool and Donald Lam make for an unlikely pair of private detectives. She's a fifty-something-year-old widow built like a longshoreman with a mouth to match. Donald is a wiry ex-lawyer in his thirties with a face that's a magnet for fists. Fortunately, he's whip-smart. His brains have gotten him and his partner through the toughest of cases. However, with World War II on, he's recently enlisted in the navy, leaving Bertha flying solo with her next client . . .
A blind beggar is searching for a young lady who disappeared after being hit by a car. Bertha's certain she can handle a missing person case on her own, especially after her client asks her to break a hundred-dollar bill. But when her search yields murder, Bertha is suddenly flying blind. Now she must quickly locate a killer before everything comes crashing down.
"No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition." — Kirkus Reviews
"The best American writer, of course, is Erle Stanley Gardner." —Evelyn Waugh

About the author
Erle Stanley Gardner (1889–1970) was the top selling American author of the twentieth century, primarily due to the enormous success of his Perry Mason Mysteries, which numbered more than eighty and inspired a half-dozen motion pictures and radio programs, as well as a long-running television series starring Raymond Burr. Having begun his career as a pulp writer, Gardner brought a hard-boiled style and sensibility to his early Mason books, but he gradually developed into a more classic detective novelist, providing clues to allow astute readers to solve his many mysteries. For over a quarter of a century, he wrote more than a million words a year under his own name as well as numerous pseudonyms, the most famous being A. A. Fair.
