Perry Mason #34: The Case of the Cautious Coquette

A Woman with Secrets. A Lawyer Framed for Murder.

When Lucille Barton walks into Perry Mason’s office, she’s as alluring as she is evasive. She lies about everything—her past, her marriages, her lovers, even her gun. But when murder strikes, Mason’s curiosity turns into crisis.

The evidence points squarely at one suspect—Perry Mason himself. With the law closing in and time running out, the famed defense attorney must solve the case not just to clear his client’s name, but to save his own.

A fast-paced courtroom thriller from Erle Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Cautious Coquette proves that even the sharpest lawyer can find himself on the wrong side of the law.
