The Bigger They Come (no. 1)
THE BIGGER THEY COME is hard, fast, and funny.
You’ll find it startlingly original, and with an unguessable plot that is kept moving at an exciting pace by elephantine Bertha Cool, detective by accident, who has the assurance of a steam-roller and the language of a longshoreman; and by puny Donald Lam, who long since would have been among the missing except for his ability to think faster than the next man—or woman.
Gold Comes in Bricks (no. 3)
NO HOLDS BARRED
The case started with a Japanese Judo Master, who threw Donald Lam for a painful loss.
Then the action shifted to a potbellied millionaire whose cash offer put a stranglehold on Bertha Cool’s imagination.
That was before an innocent-looking young lady tripped Donald up, a smooth-talking lawyer dealt him a very low blow, and an extremely knowing lovely put her arms around his neck and would not let go.

Owls Don’t Blink (no. 6)
Finding the girl came easy —
She was a New York model—a five-feet-four brunette with the loveliest pair of legs this side of the Mason-Dixon line and the kind of curves that can’t be kept under cover for very long.
Hiding her out proved tougher —
Donald Lam wasn’t the only guy who was trying to find this particular gal. Both the New Orleans and Los Angeles police wanted to get their hands on her.

Bats Fly at Dusk (no. 7)
HE WAS LOOKING FOR A GIRL…
A lovely young thing
about 25 or 26, slender, 106 pounds,
5′4″ and single.
With those vital statistics, thought Bertha Cool, every other man in town would be looking for her too.
Then the client began to peel off C notes, and Miss Cool began to have visions of hot profits. Only her financial visions became a deadly nightmare and the hottest thing in the case turned out to be Bertha Cool – wanted by the cops for burglary and suspected murder.
