The case of the runaway corpse
by Erle Stanley GardnerNot on Booklabria yet
Synopsis
The two women in Perry Mason’s office were a cat-and-mouse combination. And at first glance it seemed that little Mrs. Davenport was the mouse. But her husband said she was trying to kill him…that she had already murdered once and would not hesitate to strike again. Mason’s own curiosity made him take the case, and before long he was wanted for questioning by several different officers of the law. Question: was Myra Davenport a quiet little person, who enjoyed nothing better than pottering about in her garden? Or was she a poisoner, a minx, a modern Lucrezia Borgia? A superb courtroom expose climaxes Perry Mason’s brilliant detection.
