Books like Up for grabs by Erle Stanley Gardner
Bertha Cool’s latest ploy to attract a more "respectable" clientele begins with the All Purpose Insurance Company and a series of all-expense-paid trips to an Arizona dude ranch.

Overlooking that the scheme is just the veneer of a bigger conspiracy, Donald Lam detects that Hermann Bruno is not merely a malingerer, but a key pawn in a larger murder‑and‑fraud operation.
