A Blackmailer Returns from the Dead—and a Bride’s Secret Turns Deadly.

Years ago, con man Greg Moxley vanished after swindling Rhoda Lorton, his wife, out of her money. Everyone believed he died in a plane crash—until he suddenly reappears, alive and scheming. Now remarried to wealthy Carl Montaine, Rhoda faces ruin as Moxley threatens to expose her as a bigamist unless she pays him off.

Desperate to protect her husband and her name, Rhoda turns to Perry Mason. But before Mason can confront the blackmailer, Moxley is found murdered—and suspicion points straight at Rhoda.

In a tangled web of deceit, greed, and double identities, Mason must untangle the truth before another victim falls prey to a cold-blooded killer.

A gripping courtroom mystery from Erle Stanley Gardner, The Case of the Curious Bride is classic Perry Mason—fast-paced, clever, and full of deadly surprises.
