| Some women won't wait / English New York : William Morrow & Company, 1953. OCLC: "A client, whose name is Bicknell, shows up at the office of Cool & Lam concerned about a young woman name is Miriam Woodford who he thinks may be the victim of a blackmailer. Miriam, or Mira, was formerly married to Bicknell's partner Ezra Woodford. Woodford was sixty-nine, and Mira, who's an absolute knockout, was twenty-seven. Ezra was able to enjoy six months of wedded bliss before he died suddenly, leaving a fortune to his young widow. Mira is about to sail for Hawaii, and Bicknell wants Bertha on the ship with her to protect her. Bertha is dead-set against the idea and wants Donald to go instead. Bicknell insists that he wants a woman on the job and, in the end, both Donald and Bertha make the trip. One thing leads to several others. Donald manages to work his way into Mira's circle while on board the ship and maintains the relationship once in the islands. Before long, someone turns up dead and Donald and Bertha are in the soup up to their necks." 1st edition bound in yellow cloth binding with heavy wear with loss to bottom of spine and corners rubbed.
