Widows Wear Weeds

Description for WIDOWS WEAR WEEDS by Erle Stanley Gardner writing as A A Fair:

Donald Lam and Elsie Brand, his secretary, were enjoying a coffee break (with the snorting permission of Bertha Cool) when the man appeared.

He seemed aimless until he spotted Donald---but men of such obvious affluence are seldom, if ever, aimless...

Mr. Nicholas Baffin was no exception. In fact, as Donald soon found out, it was a matter of "ready, aim, fire!"
