What is The Knife Slipped (Cool and Lam #1.5) about?

THE LOST DETECTIVE NOVEL BY THE CREATOR OF PERRY MASON! At the time of his death, Erle Stanley Gardner was the best-selling American author of the 20th century, and world famous as the creator of crusading attorney Perry Mason. Gardner also created the hardboiled detective team of Cool and Lam, stars of 29 novels published between 1939 and 1970and one thats never been published until now. Lost for more than 75 years, THE KNIFE SLIPPED was meant to be the second book in the series but got shelved when Gardners publisher objected to (among other things) Bertha Cools tendency to "talk tough, swear, smoke cigarettes, and try to gyp people." But this tale of adultery and corruption, of double-crosses and triple identities however shocking for 1939shines 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. Donald Lam has never been coolernot even when played by Frank Sinatra on the U.S. Steel Hour of Mystery in 1946. Bertha Cool has never been tougher. And Erle Stanley Gardner has never been better. First publication ever! Erle Stanley Gardner is one of the most
