The Case of the Velvet Claws
The Case of the Velvet Claws | Erle Stanley Gardner
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Thanks to a bungled robbery at a fancy hotel, the already-married Eva Griffin has been caught in the company of a prominent congressman. To protect the politico, Eva's ready to pay the editor of a sleazy tabloid his hush money. But Perry Mason has other plans. He tracks down the phantom fat cat who secretly runs the blackmailing tabloid -- only to discover a shocking scoop. By the time Mason's comely client finally comes clean, her husband has taken a bullet in the heart. Now Perry Mason has two choices: represent the cunning widow in her wrangle for the dead man's money -- or take the rap for murder.

MaGoose I'm watching the original Perry Mason series on CBS All-Access. I'll have to check out the modern series. Sorry, I don't like Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock - liked him as Dr. Strange, though. 4y
