The Case of the Baited Hook
(eBook)
Description
Perry Mason risks his freedom to prove the innocence of an unidentified client: "Fast-paced . . . the question of whodunit, as always, gets an unexpected answer." -Publishers Weekly The bait is half of a $10,000 bill, delivered to Perry Mason by a man who promises the second half of the note should his companion, a silent masked woman, ever require the lawyer's services. When a dead body is discovered soon after, Mason feels the hook―but how can one prove the innocence of a person whose identity is unknown? Suspecting he's been set up, but curious nonetheless, Perry sets out to solve the mystery from the ground up, beginning with the face behind the veil. The more he learns, the more complex his investigation becomes. Uncovering a convoluted case of stock fraud, divorce, and inheritance, Mason's nearly left reeling―that is until, with the help of Della Street and Paul Drake, he pulls off one of his most daring gambits ever to finally cast light on the killer. Filled with memorable characters, a multitude of motives, and just a few red herrings, The Case of the Baited Hook is classic Perry Mason, showcasing the character's brilliance and pizazz with a plot that pushes his powers into overdrive. As puzzling as it is entertaining, the book exemplifies the style that made Edgar Award winner Erle Stanley Gardner one of the most popular authors of the twentieth century and inspired the hit HBO series. "A good Perry Mason yarn . . . Perry moves fast to outmaneuver his opponents." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "[The] Mason books remain tantalizing on every page and brilliant." -Scott Turow, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of The Last Trial "A good starting point for those new to Gardner's celebrated attorney."― Publishers Weekly
