Book Description

"Perry Mason's client was guilty--at least of some things. She was living under a false name. She had taken another woman's purse containing $4,000. She had stabbed a man with an ice pick. She had fled from an accident in which another person was killed. But had she committted one murder or two murders? There were certainly two corpses. The police connected her with one on circumstantial evidence. The second person accused her before dying. She had no alibi and her defense was: 'I didn't do it.' But she had retained Perry Mason, for a nickel, and--Perry Mason believed she was innocent!" --

Book Description

'A master storyteller' New York Times 'His Mason books remain tantalising on every page and brilliant' Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent 'For fans of classic hard-boiled whodunits, this is a time machine back to an exuberant era of snappy patter, stakeouts, and double-crosses' LA Times The first woman wouldn't even give her name. But the clear, feminine voice faltered considerably over the question of what Perry Mason's charges would be for a day in court - a day doing nothing but listening. The second woman gave a good deal more - but the question was, what did she expect to get? Dorla Balfour, lethally lovely and dangerously rich, forced a $1,000 retainer on Mason to deal with a case already tried and decided. The offense involved appeared to be manslaughter, hit-and-run, but it soon became murder ... with the corpse killed twice.
