Review: Turn On The Heat

 

Turn On the Heat is one of the Cool & Lam novels written by Erle Stanley Gardner (of Perry Mason fame) which he wrote under the pen name of A. A. Fair.

            Mr. Smith hires the private investigative firm of Cool & Lam (Bertha and Donald, respectively) to locate a Mrs. Lantig who disappear twenty-one years earlier. They are not to look for Mr. Lantig.

            What does Mrs. Lantig look like? How old is she? Where had she been? Mr. Smith says he doesn’t know.

            With almost nothing to go on, Cool & Lam begin to investigate and end up trying to figure out who’s who – who’s alive or dead – who’s married or divorced – and where is Mrs. Lantig?

            An enjoyable and twisty tale.
