About This Book

**Cool & Lam Mystery #3** (1940) Two $10,000 checks in less than two weeks puts a noticeable dent in the money Alta Ashbury inherited from her mother. Without knowing exactly what sort of mess she's gotten herself into, Daddy can't even begin to sort it back out for her, but Alta isn't talking. So Henry C. Ashbury and Bertha Cool cook up a scheme, and the number one operative of B Cool Confidential Investigations finds himself temporarily installed in the butler-included Ashbury digs. Where the first thing unlikely "personal trainer" Donald Lam learns is that Alta's isn't the only household mess in need of a good sorting.
