About This Item
218 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") issued in red with black lettering to spine and cover. 1st edition. Erle Stanley Gardner was born 17 July 1889 in Malden, Massachusetts. While working as a lawyer in Ventura, California, he began writing mystery stories. In all, he wrote 146 books, including 85 Perry Mason mysteries. The Mystery Writers of America awarded him the title Grand Master in 1962. He died 11 March 1970, at his ranch near Temecula, California. Virginia Baxter is the only witness still living who can vouch for the authenticity of Lauretta Trent's will. Lauretta Trent, a wealthy widow, is also still living. But for how long? Someone has been peppering the spicy food Lauretta loves with arsenic. Could it be the same someone who tried framing Baxter for drug smuggling? Condition: Spine ends bumped. Jacket spine ends lightly chipped, edge wear with some small closed tears.
