More Than Skin Deep
By Gardner, Erle Stanley
In a quiet mountain town, a shattered safe, a stolen fortune, and a dead clerk send the community into panic. As a celebrated city detective arrives with modern methods and bold conclusions, the unassuming local constable, Dad Anderson, relies on patience, common sense, and his understanding of human character. Erle Stanley Gardner’s “More Than Skin Deep” is a sharply drawn small-town mystery that contrasts forensic certainty with old-fashioned judgment.
