First edition. Inscribed by the author on the front free fly leaf: "To Helen Moore, my Hollywood Della Street, with love from Uncle Erle. Erle Stanley Gardner." Helen Moore was secretary to the author. Bertha Cool was purring like a kitten. A client had just hired the agency to investigate a suspected insurance swindle, and in Bertha's glittering eyes, that was just the respectable sort of case they needed. Donald Lam had his doubts, but he began looking around for suitable bait to set a trap. What he didn't know was that the trap was already baited -- and more than ready to spring. Fine, bright copy in dust jacket with two small closed tears at bottom of front cover panel and reinforced on the verso with a small strip of cellophane tape. Seller Inventory # 46648
