The Knife Slipped (Cool and Lam)

The Knife Slipped (Cool and Lam)

Lost for more than 75 years,Â The Knife SlippedÂ was meant to be the second book in the series, but shelved when Gardnerâ€™s publisher objected to (among other things) Bertha Coolâ€™s tendency to â€œtalk tough, swear, smoke cigarettes, and try to gyp people.â€ But this tale of adultery and corruption, of double-crosses and triple identitiesâ€”however shocking for 1939â€”shines today as a glorious present from the past, a return to the heyday of private eyes and shady dames, of powerful criminals, crooked cops, blazing dialogue, and delicious plot twists.Â

Donald Lam has never been coolerâ€”not even when played by Frank Sinatra on theÂ U.S. Steel Hour of MysteryÂ in 1946. Bertha Cool has never been tougher. And Erle Stanley Gardner has never been better.
