This is the Walter J. Black, 1962 edition. Walter Black published a series of two-story volumes. These classic hardcovers collect his popular Cool and Lam detective series featuring the mismatched private eye duo Bertha Cool and Donald Lam.

Try Anything Once (1940): The partners are offered $1500 for Donald to simply spend the night in a motel room with a beautiful woman, a setup Donald correctly identifies as a dangerous red herring in a murder plot
