New York: William Morrow, 1945

8vo, pp. 218. Original black boards, lettered in black on red to front panel and spine (where the first part of the title is lettered in red on black). Illustrated dust jacket. A fine copy in a near fine dust jacket with just a little fading to spine and the lightest of wear to spine ends.

First edition.

A Perry Mason title in the almost impossibly prolific Erle Stanley Gardner's bibliography. This is the twenty-sixth title featuring fiction's most famous criminal attorney -- there were eighty-five in all.
