Book dossier
by Erle Stanley Gardner
Money in the bank has always been a persuasive factor in Bertha Cool’s life – and Lamont Hawley represented a lot of it. He also represented an insurance company that smelled a rat about a traffic accident claim – 30,000 smackers for a whiplash injury. The trouble was the claimant had drifted away – a beautiful blonde who had been most co-operative and level headed. In fact, too level headed – she sounded almost professional. Donald didn’t like it. Why should a large insurance company need an outside investigator? But Bertha’s greedy little eyes were already registering $$$$... So Donald gets cracking and in no time is the prime object of Sgt. Seller’s suspicion. For what on earth was a body doing in the trunk of Donald’s car?
