‘Tantalising on every page and brilliant’ Scott Turow, bestselling author of Presumed Innocent
‘The best American writer, of course, is Erle Stanley Gardner’ Evelyn Waugh
Who was that masked woman?
That was the question plaguing Perry Mason. No one loves a good mystery more than Mason – but being asked to represent a client who is concealing her identity, not to mention the particulars of her case, has given even the legendary legal eagle a case of ruffled feathers.
Yet the intriguing cloak-and-dagger tactics have Perry hopelessly hooked. As for the silent siren behind the mask, is she heiress Byrl Gailord or penniless Adelle Hastings? Both women have ties to a man named Tidings, a man who may be a protector or predator. A man who could answer a lot of tough questions – if only he hadn’t been murdered.
