The Case of the Fabulous Fake


Author: Erle Stanley Gardner
My Description: It's Perry Mason! I love Perry Mason! (there's a black-and-white TV show starring him on weekdays at noon, Fox. It's a great show. Wonderful mysteries) Perry Mason is an lawyer, who not only proves his client innocent, but finds the actual Murderer in the process. This case was wonderfully written, highly suspenseful, and kept me guessing 'til the very last line.
I love Perry Mason.
Back-Of-The-Book Description: 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 . . .
