"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."--Title page verso.
