Finished the 25th book in the Cool and Lam series, Up for Grabs.

Spoiler:

An All Purpose Insurance Company, contacts the Cool & Lam Agency to hire a private detective to entrap a malingerer who is claiming a whiplash injury of the cervical vertebrae. Donald Lam is sent to a dude ranch to collect the evidences. But he incidentally meets another lawyer who shows him motion pictures indicating a trap maintained by the insurance company to get people to overexert themselves and thus decline the claims!
When Lam arrives at Los Angeles Sgt. Sellers meets him and the scam starts to fall apart. Lam figures out the facts behind the mystery. Lam "knows how these things are".


Next up : Cut Thin to Win (1965) by Erle Stanley Gardner. 26th book in the series.
