Perry Mason #13: The Case of the Shoplifter’s Shoe

A Missing Diamond Cache. A Murdered Jeweler. A Lady with a Secret.

When her wealthy aunt Sarah is caught shoplifting, Virginia Trent fears it’s more than a bad habit—it’s a cry for help. But when a stash of valuable diamonds disappears and a jeweler turns up dead, Aunt Sarah’s troubles take a deadly turn.

Now, caught fleeing the crime scene, she’s the prime suspect in a shocking murder. Only Perry Mason can unravel the mystery behind the missing gems, the sticky fingers, and the blood-stained evidence before justice slips through his hands.

A clever and fast-paced legal mystery from Erle Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Shoplifter’s Shoe proves that appearances can deceive—and sometimes, they kill.
