About the Book: This collection opens with a Perry Mason novelette: a wealthy man named Mr. Cash arrives at Mason’s office with ten crisp hundreds and a desperate plea—his wife has vanished just as her jewelry goes missing. Mason, Della Street, and Paul Drake go undercover in his mansion to untangle a case that morphs from disappearance into murder. With additional short stories featuring characters like Lester Leith and Sydney Zoom, this volume offers a mix of detective intrigue, clever deduction, and classic Gardner thrills.
