Appartiene alle SerieCool and Lam (6)
An odd couple of detectives descends on New Orleans to search for a missing heiress in this hard-boiled mystery by the creator of Perry Mason. Bertha Cool is a bulldog of a woman with an attitude to match. Donald Lam is a handsome ex-lawyer who makes up for in brains what he lacks in brawn. Together, they're an unlikely pair of private detectives on a mission to find Roberta Fenn, a missing model and heiress in New Orleans. It's a seemingly simple case of lost and found . . . Except, Donald can't help but wonder why someone would hire a firm out of Los Angeles instead of one based in the Big Easy. Also, locating Roberta proves surprisingly effortless. Keeping track of her is not. She disappears, leaving a body behind in her apartment. Now Cool and Lam must find Roberta and a killer, before someone makes them disappear as well . . . "Cool and Lam are an amusing and endearing pair--perfect foils for one another." --Monica Muller, 1001 Nights: The Aficionado's Guide to Mystery and Detective Fiction "No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition." --Kirkus Reviews Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

They have a description of the girl but no details as to why the search. They locate the girl and notify the attorney. Job done. Or is it?
Seems just a day after they locate her she disappears again! The attorney asks them to find her again. This time there is more to this job...seems a murder is on the hunt for the girl also. This becomes apparent when Bertha and Donald find a dead man in the girl's apartment. Something isn't looking right and Donald is determined to find out what the true story is. Even if it means keeping her away from the New Orleans and Los Angeles police departments.
A.A. Fair is a pen name for Erle Stanley Gardner. Instead of an attorney it is two P.I.s that solve the case. Written in the 1940s it is a good way to go back in time for a bit. ( )
