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. Married Eva Griffin has been caught with a prominent congressman, and is ready to pay the editor of a sleazy tabloid hush money to protect the politician. But first Perry Mason tracks down the publisher of the blackmailing tabloid and discovers a shocking secret, which eventually leads to Mason being accused of murder. This is the first Perry Mason mystery and our introduction to secretary Della Street, detective Paul Drake, and the great lawyer himself."

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
