Virginia thinks Sarah swiped the stones, but gem dealer Austin Cullens begs to differ.

ENGAGED TO A NIGHTMARE
When Norda Allison sees her husband-to-be slap his young son, she immediately calls off the wedding. Now she is terrified. Her ex-fiancé has beat up her new boyfriend. Anonymous newspaper clippings are flooding her mailbox--articles graphically depicting what jilted men do to the women who leave them. Then Norda's life takes an even darker turn.

The Case of the Mythical Monkeys by Erle Stanley Gardner

LETHAL CABIN FEVER
Gladys Doyle's luxurious ski weekend, courtesy of her employer, takes a sharp turn for the worse when she heads home on Sunday. Heavy storms force her to seek shelter with a surly stranger in a lonely mountain cabin. Next morning there's a dead man in the bedroom, the mysterious host has disappeared, and poor Gladys's fingerprints are all over the murder weapon.

Her desperate plight sends Perry Mason ice-fishing in dangerous waters--for a catch that includes a silk scarf curiously decorated with monkeys, a pristine tea kettle, a bodyguard who takes care of his clients permanently, and a viscious bottom feeder hungry for prey . . .

 

The Case of the One-Eyed Witness by Erle Stanley Gardner

A frantic woman desperate to retain Perry Mason's services suddenly disappears. The only clues are a news clipping about a blackmail case and the combination to a safe. The case is a tangled web involving an eccentric widower, a sexy cigarette girl, a shady real-estate broker, a wife, a lover, and too many loose ends.

 

The Case of the Terrified Typist by Erle Stanley Gardner

The Case of the Fabulous Fake by Erle Stanley Gardner

SILENCE IS MURDER
Perry Mason's beautiful new client isn't giving anything away, not even her name, and he suspects that what she does choose to reveal is mostly lies. Certainly the bag full of cash she carries isn't shopping money. All the mystery woman asks is that Mason make himself available for a few days in case she needs him--for what purpose, she remains silent as the grave.
In fact, his headstrong client, who identifies herself only as "36-24-36," is headed for disaster--not only into a blackmailer's clutches but into a lethal trap from which not even Perry Mason's brilliant courtroom sorcery may be able to extricate her. Alive, anyway . . .

 

The Case of the Stuttering Bishop by Erle Stanley Gardner

When a stuttering bishop comes to Perry Mason's office for help, Mason becomes involved in a battle of wills with a woman and the long-lost daughter she believes to be a fraud. The key to the puzzle lies in the bishop--who, unfortunately, has disappeared.

The Case of the Fenced-In Woman by Erle Stanley Gardner

Perry Mason is in the middle again, in the case of the house divided--literally--by a barbed wire fence. And when the house is racked by murder, and both its warring occupants are suspects, which side will Perry choose? The Perry Mason mysteries have been entertaining readers for 60 years.

 

Case of the Counterfeit Eye by Erle Stanley Gardner

Wealthy business man Hartley Bassett has killed himself. That's easy to see. After all, there's a typewritten suicide note and three guns lying near his body. For Perry Mason, that's evidence overkill. There are too many suspects and too many lies. But leave it to Mason, Della Street and Paul Drake to piece together the missing parts of this fatal family puzzle.
