Up For Grabs

A. A. FAIR

Publication: William Morrow & Company, 1964, New York

First edition. Fine, bright copy in dust jacket, lightly sunned on the spine. Insurance again, this time a company that wants to set up an ongoing project to expose phony whiplash claims. Big ongoing retainer, big fees for each claim - Bertha's eyes glitter at all the legit dollars up for grabs. Donald is packed off to a dude ranch in Arizona to investigate the plaintiff in the first claim, with stern instructions not to stir this one up. It's not his fault someone's wife ends up dead in the Sierras, or that Sgt. Sellers is so annoyed at his 'amateur' interference that he throws away a key piece of evidence at the scene of the death. A Donald Lam - Bertha Cool mystery.
