Stewart Bedford is willing to cooperate with a blackmailer to protect his beloved wife. But when he wakes up in a daze to find the man shot dead with Bedford's gun and his blond escort missing, he'll need some help from defense lawyer Perry Mason... This mystery is part of Edgar Award-winning author Erle Stanley Gardner's classic, long-running Perry Mason series, which has sold three hundred million copies and serves as the inspiration for the HBO show starring Matthew Rhys and Tatiana Maslany.

User reviews

LibraryThing member JeffreyMarks
Fairly simplistic plot for a Mason book, and a fairly easy solution given the set-up.

Very enjoyable read. The courtroom scenes were shorter than usual, but it was fun throughout.
