Perry Mason #27: The Case of the Half-Wakened Wife

Murder at Sea. A Foggy Night. And a Woman with a Gun.

A midnight scream. A gunshot. A cry of “Man overboard!” On a fog-shrouded yacht filled with guests who secretly despise one another, Perry Mason finds himself face-to-face with a terrified woman—clutching a pistol and wrapped only in a nightgown.

When the woman is later accused of cold-blooded murder, Mason is the only one who believes in her innocence. But before he can build her defense, she does the unthinkable—she fires him. Now Perry must uncover the deadly truth behind the yacht’s dark secrets, where jealousy, deception, and betrayal swirl as thickly as the fog itself.

A tense, fast-paced mystery from Erle Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Half-Wakened Wife is classic Perry Mason—full of twists, courtroom drama, and razor-sharp suspense.
