Perry Mason #61 : The Case of the Waylaid Wolf

Perry Mason #61: The Case of the Waylaid Wolf
By Erle Stanley Gardner

When stenographer Arlene Ferris swears to stop the relentless advances of Loring Lamont—the spoiled, predatory son of a powerful man—she means to defend her dignity, not end a life. But when Lamont turns up dead, all evidence points straight to her.

For Perry Mason, this case tests his golden rule: always trust your client. With the odds stacked against Arlene and the truth buried beneath lies, Mason must navigate a web of deceit, desire, and danger—risking everything, even his own reputation, to prove her innocence.
