Yes, I think you can cite in a way that is correct. If you claim c which is mentioned in book C, but you know this from book B which references C, you can cite:
AuthorC: "C", PlaceC, TimeC, cited after AuthorB: "B", PlaceB, TimeB.
even without ever holding book C in your hand. You delegate the responsibility for correctness of the information c to B.
