A recipe to delight every gourmet of mystery fiction...

Take a proxy fight and a series of mysterious phone calls from an unknown female who said her name was Rosalind.

Add a couple of guns and a very dead blonde in a bare hotel room.

Season with Perry Mason’s brilliant analytical mind... and some fast action by Della Street and Paul Drake.

Pop it all into the courtroom... and you will have a murder case that is almost too hot to handle. At least that is the way Hamilton Burger, the district attorney, felt about it.

It’s a sensational

pièce de résistance

that calls for whirlwind action by three of the best cooks in the business, Perry Mason, Della Street, and Paul Drake.
