Here’s a PERRY MASON story, with a murder hinging on as ingenious a trick as has
appeared in a mystery in a long time, and containing some of the most exiting
courtroom scenes Erle Stanley Gardner has even written.It’s about:Alden E. Leeds,
millionaire and black sheep of the family, about to the torn limb from limb by a
pack of gold-greedy relatives; Phyllis, old man Leeds’s niece and business manager;
Ned Barkler, once his partner in Klondike days; L. C. Conway, who sold dice almost
anyone could roll; blonde, hard Marcia Whittaker, who seemed to have said that all
she wanted was a cozy little home; and, of course, wily Perry Mason, Della Street,
his secretary, and lanky Paul Drake, the detective.Readers will find here the usual
swift pace and ingenuity, the unexpected twists and surprises that have made Erle
Stanley Gardner the most popular detective-store writer in America.
