The Bigger They Come (Cool and Lam #1)
Overview
Bertha Cool, head of the B. L. Cool Detective Agency, has the majesty of a snowcapped mountain and the assurance of a steamroller. At 300 pounds plus, she goes in for loose clothes and loose talk. Donald Lam, her number-one operative, weighs 127 pounds soaking wet. When he tells people he's a detective, they laugh. But Donald always has the last laugh, because he's learned how to think a little better than the next guy.
In this, their first case together, you will also meet Sandra Birks—a brazen hussy who thinks anything in pants is a pigeon to shoot at. She hires Lam to serve her husband with divorce papers, no easy task considering her husband is a mobster hiding out from the police. Yet Lam completes his assignment admirably, only to find his troubles are just beginning. First he is kidnapped, then a murder is committed and a beautiful damsel in distress framed. The Bigger They Come is hard and fast and funny, ingenious and surprising.
The Bigger They Come was first published in 1939 by the pseudonymous A. A. Fair, who was really Erle Stanley Gardner. Mr. Gardner, most famous for his Perry Mason mysteries, is the bestselling author of all time.
