The Case of the Lame Canary

Criminal lawyer and bestselling mystery author Erle Stanley Gardner wrote nearly 150 novels that have sold 300 million copies worldwide. Now, the American Bar Association is bringing back his most famous and enduring novels--featuring criminal defense lawyer and sleuth Perry Mason--in striking trade paperback editions. Perry Mason doesn't usually handle divorce cases, but this one's a doozy: sisters Rita Swaine and Rosalind Prescott have intertwined romantic histories and questionable taste in men. Perry Mason finds himself embroiled in a shady insurance scam and a lawsuit, while also dealing with a murdered man, a nosy neighbor, and a canary with suspiciously short claws.
