Has Donald Lam gone to the dark side? 

From the world-famous creator of Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner — at his death the best-selling American writer of all time — comes another baffling case for the Cool & Lam detective agency: Shills Can't Cash Chips.

Return to the 1960s as a simple insurance investigation into a car accident puts Bertha Cool and Donald Lam on the trail of murder — and Donald hip-deep in danger when he poses as an ex-con to infiltrate a criminal gang.
