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. By all appearances, wealthy businessman Hartley Bassett has killed himself. But Bassett was in his fair share of trouble at the time of his death, and the case gets complicated by corpses with bloodshot glass eyes clutched in their hands. With too many suspects and too many lies, it takes all the resources of Mason, his invaluable secretary Della Street, and clever detective Paul Drake to piece together this fatal family puzzle.
A runaway witness leads a lawyer into a whodunit: "The only dull pages in this book are the blank ones" (The New York Times).
