MAPBACK MONDAY: A.A. FAIR'S FOOLS DIE ON FRIDAY

It's Mapback Monday, but today's Dell Mapback is A.A. Fair's Fools Die on Friday. A.A. Fair was the pseudonym that Erle Stanley Gardner used for his Cool and Lam series (Bertha Cool and Donald Lam). This is #11 in that series, and was first published in 1947.  Read a review by Francis M. Nevins that appeared in Mystery*File.

Man, 25 cents! Today a new or premium pocket mystery cost $14 to $19. Great book, great cover and back, and love the title. Really cool, or should I say...Cool and Lam. TXS,
