Muriell Gilman left her father at the breakfast table while she cooked seconds of sausage and eggs. When she returned, he had disappeared – seemingly into thin air.

She searched the house from cellar to attic. Then she went out to the workshop … there, scattered on the floor, were hundred-dollar bills – and in their midst a spreading, crimson stain. That’s when she telephoned Perry Mason, who soon discovers that the missing piece of the mystery seems to belong to his arch nemesis Hamilton Burger.

Reviews

NEW YORK TIMES
The bestselling author of the century ... a master storyteller
LA TIMES
For fans of classic hard-boiled whodunits, this is a time machine back to an exuberant era of snappy patter, stakeouts, and double-crosses
NEW YORK TIMES
Kingpin among the mystery writers
Scott Turow, author of Presumed Innocent and Testimony
With Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner introduced to American letters the notion of the lawyer as a hero - and a detective - which were remarkable innovations. He even gave defence lawyers a good name to boot. His Mason books remain tantalising on every page and brilliant
NEW YORK TIMES
Amazing originality
KIRKUS
No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition

NEW YORK TIMES
Millions of Americans never seem to tire of Gardner's thrillers
