The Case of the Black Cat

PERRY MASON'S BACK...and so are the thrills, suspense, and excitement of Erle Stanley Gardner's greatest mystery drama!

Lawyer Perry Mason is summoned to the Laxter mansion at night to remove granddaughter Wilma from invalid Peter Laxter's will, preventing her marriage to suspected fortune hunter Doug. Peter dies in a mysterious fire, and grandsons Sam Laxter and Frank Oafley inherit, provided caretaker Schuster and his cat Clinker remain. Cat-hating Sam threatens Clinker, prompting Perry to investigate. He discovers Laxter's death was suspicious and the family fortune and diamonds are missing. Schuster is found dead in his basement apartment, and nurse Louise is murdered with Schuster's crutch. Circumstantial evidence puts Doug on trial for Louise's death, but Mason's investigation produces a surprise witness who turns the trial around.
