EugeneBookStore Summary
Owls Don’t Blink is one of the later entries in Erle Stanley Gardner’s popular Bertha Cool & Donald Lam detective series, written under his pseudonym A. A. Fair. Featuring fast dialogue, clever plotting, and Gardner’s trademark courtroom-style logic applied to private investigations, the novel remains a favorite among fans of classic hard-boiled mysteries.
Collector Notes
This is the 24th Bertha Cool & Donald Lam novel, one of the longest-running private detective series of the twentieth century. Vintage Dell paperback editions are increasingly collectible, particularly among readers assembling the complete A. A. Fair series. Copies in Good or better condition remain desirable because many surviving paperbacks exhibit heavy reading wear.
