One of the best-selling authors of all time, Erle Stanley Gardner's greatest creations include crusading attorney Perry Mason (star of more than eighty novels, a TV series and TV movies) and the hardboiled detective team of Bertha Cool and Donald Lam, who appeared in more than two dozen adventures. An attorney himself, Gardner also founded the Court of Last Resort, a group that investigated criminal cases they believed had ended in wrong convictions.

If you want a glimpse into what fiction used to be, and may be again, look no further than TURN ON THE HEAT. It is a gem.-BookReporterErle Stanley Gardner's Cool and Lam are fun to read about, and Turn on the Heat has them in fine form -Bill CriderThis one is a lot of fun. Recommended. -AtomicJunkShopA must for Gardner fans - if for no other reason than to demonstrate the breadth of Gardner's inventive skills when he wasn't busy with his better known lawyer/investigator.For those a little less passionate about Perry Mason, the Cool and Lam mysteries are a wonderful example of the kinds if mysteries that helped define the genre during its formative years. -Bookgasm"Gardner's writing encapsulates what's best about the '40s and puts it to the page" - Criminal Element"It's exciting stuff to find one of the best reads of the year is a reprint of a book that is 77 years old and hasn't been in print for 50 years. Run, don't walk, to your nearest book store for one of the year's best retro reads." - Borg.com"The novel's rapid-fire banter makes what is already a highly entertaining story a real gem." - Seattle Book Review 4-star"a welcome addition to my bookcase." -John Koenig - Stuff I Like
