Perry Mason se ve involucrado en un complejo caso de divorcio.

El ensimismamiento de Helen se rompe cuando su gato, Ojos Ambarinos, salta para alcanzar una pelota y le propina un arañazo en la muñeca. Ese mismo día, discute con la ceñuda tía Matilda a propósito de un novio; da vueltas al asunto de un testamento; recuerda a su tío Franklin, desaparecido tiempo atrás; recibe una llamada telefónica muy importante y el encargo de ver a Perry Mason, abogado criminalista. Para colmo, ha de visitar al veterinario.

Perry Mason, abogado criminalista, no acepta un cliente hasta que su sexto sentido le dice que es inocente. Y no importa que el caso le ponga contra las cuerdas; conseguirá la absolución. En el último instante, su brillante exposición de los hechos sacará a la luz detalles, aparentemente sin importancia, que delatarán al verdadero culpable. En los años sesenta, el actor Raymond Burr popularizó en televisión al peculiar investigador.

When notorious playboy Arthur Cushing is murdered, Belle Adrian suspects that her daughter, Carlotta, is the killer, and Carlotta suspects her mother of the crime. Original.

SILENCE IS MURDER Perry Mason's beautiful new client isn't giving anything away, not even her name, and he suspects that what she does choose to reveal is mostly lies. Certainly the bag full of cash she carries isn't shopping money. All the mystery woman asks is that Mason make himself available for a few days in case she needs him--for what purpose, she remains silent as the grave. In fact, his headstrong client, who identifies herself only as "36-24-36," is headed for disaster--not only into a blackmailer's clutches but into a lethal trap from which not even Perry Mason's brilliant courtroom sorcery may be able to extricate her. Alive, anyway . . . THE ORIGINAL COURTROOM NOVELS

Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, this collection features Lester Leith, an urbane Robin Hood who cleverly steals from the wealthy to assist the less fortunate, all while keeping a portion for himself. The stories showcase Gardner's wit and humor, which were often absent in his later works. With only a few of these tales previously anthologized, this volume significantly expands the collection, marking it as the fourth installment in Crippen & Landru's Lost Classics series dedicated to Gardner's pulp characters.
