The Case Of The Shapely Shadow

Description for THE CASE OF THE SHAPELY SHADOW by Erle Stanley Gardner:

Take one wife, strikingly beautiful...one ex-wife, whittled down to make a comeback...a gorgeous secretary trying to play the role of Ugly Duckling...and you have three lovely and shapely ladies who figure prominently in the life--and death-- of Morley L. Theilman.

It started with blackmail: the suitcase bulging with $20 bills, the crude, threatening notes, the clever directions for payment--and ended with murder. But why kill the goose who laid the golden eggs?

Perry Mason pulls some of the fastest legal footwork of his career--in front of judge and jury--before he finds the answer and cracks the case of the prosecution.

This is #65 in A Perry Mason Mystery.
