Erle Stanley Gardner Livres

Entre 1933 et 1974, cet auteur américain a publié 85 romans judiciaires animés par Perry Mason, personnage dont s'est emparé la télévision. Brillant avocat, observateur sagace et imaginatif, celui-ci illustre bien le type de chevalier moderne au service des veuves, des orphelins et des marginaux. Cette jeune fille boudeuse devient la cible d'une deuxième enquête (1933)

When notorious playboy Arthur Cushing is murdered, Belle Adrian suspects that her daughter, Carlotta, is the killer, and Carlotta suspects her mother of the crime. Original.

SILENCE IS MURDER 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.
