Description

From the world-famous creator of 'Perry Mason,' Erle Stanley Gardner - at his death the best-selling American writer of all time - comes another baffling case for the Cool & Lam detective agency: The Count of 9. Return to the 1950s as Bertha Cool and Donald Lam investigate an impossible murder in a double-locked room...the theft of two precious jade-and ruby Buddhas...and the intertwined fates of a globetrotting explorer, a neglected wife, and a beautiful nude art model. Will Donald go down for the count - or will he come up with a solution by the count of 9?

Author Biography

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.

Reviews

"This smooth and easy entry in [Gardner's] Cool and Lam detective series, now reissued with a classic--but brand new--cover by legendary paperback artist Robert McGinnis." --Publishers Weekly
