Synopsis

The voice on the phone was young and silky. The woman it belonged to touched something soft in Perry Mason's cool, legalistic mind. The offer she made was too intriguing to pass up. But what began as a request for a simple courtroom visit turned into an intrigue of baffling complexity…as well as one of the most cleverly rigged frame-ups of Perry's career.It’s a case of a family blessed with millions and, riddled with scandal, a case of accidental manslaughter that explodes into a charge of airtight murder, a case of a corpse dying not once, but twice. To save his client, Perry will have to break all the rules—and more than one law.

4⭐️ I got the 1965 copy of this book as a gift and I’m so glad for it! To be honest I haven’t heard of Earle Stanley Gardner prior to this and you maybe haven’t either, and that would be a great loss. This author wrote an insane amount of amazing lawyer/detective mysteries, and this is one of them. I......more
