Erle Stanley Gardner

Following a money trail leads a PI into danger in this hardboiled mystery by the creator of Perry Mason and author of Turn on the Heat. Brainy private detective Donald Lam is always one step ahead of the bad guysbut hes also smaller than them and typically gets beat up. Thats why his boss, the everirascible Bertha Cool, has hired a martial arts master to teach him selfdefense. The first class isnt easy for Donald, but he is rewarded with a new client . . . Henry Ashbury is concerned about his daughters recent spending habits. He wants Donald to find out where her money is going, without letting on that hes a detective. So, going undercover as Ashburys trainer, Donald soon learns the story behind the daughters finances. But when his investigation also turns up a dead body, the diminutive detective must teach the killer a lesson in justice . . . "Lively wit and machinegun dialogue." Ralph E. Vaughan, author of Murder in the Goblins Playground "Gardner has a way of moving the story forward that is almost a lost art great stretches of dialogue alternate with lively chunks of exposition, and the two work together perfectly, without sacrificing momentum."
