The Case of the Moth-Eaten Mink cover

'The bestselling author of the century ... a master storyteller' New York Times

Perry Mason orders a double serving of trouble the night he and Della Street dine at an intimate restaurant after a hard day at law. In the middle of their steaks a waitress flees the premises in terror, leaving the puzzled proprietor holding her mink coat.

Why a humble working girl abandons such a pricey wrap is only the first question in a cop-killer case that traps Mason's client with both an impossible story and the murder weapon, makes Perry himself a prime suspect, and blazes a gunpowder trail that leads straight to the heart of the police department itself.

Beautiful babes, worthy opponents and fancy legal cross-stitching . . . a stellar ending * KIRKUS *
Millions of Americans never seem to tire of Gardner's thrillers * NEW YORK TIMES *
Gardner has a way of moving the story forward that is almost a lost art: great stretches of dialogue alternate with lively chunks of exposition, and the two work together perfectly, without sacrificing momentum * BOOKLIST *
Amazing originality * NEW YORK TIMES *
