Description
The Knife Slipped by Erle Stanley Gardner is a gripping tale of adultery and corruption, set against the backdrop of 1939. A lost detective novel, it was shelved for over 75 years before its rediscovery, offering a glimpse into the heyday of private eyes and shady dames.
This story follows Donald Lam as he navigates a complex web of double-crosses and triple identities, with Bertha Cool proving to be an unforgettable character. Gardner's writing shines through in this tale, featuring blazing dialogue and delicious plot twists that keep readers on the edge of their seats.
