- Эрл Стенли Гарднер
- The Case of the Buried Clock
Mason (with Della Street and Paul Drake, of course) takes on a super-baffling case involving — among other strange things—
A shattering car wreck in which apparently no one was injured...
A glamorous widow who should have had a husband but didn’t...
An alarm clock that ticked away cheerfully under ground...
A bank clerk who boasted brazenly about a $90,000 embezzlement...
A girl who was always on hand when Perry Mason wanted her miles away, but was always missing when he needed her most...
A client on trial for murder who wouldn’t even talk to Mason...
A blood-stained bullet about which there was something very phoney...
A photographer who could make a camera do everything but climb a tree...
A gold mine without any gold...
AND, last but not least — Perry Mason, all but hoist with his own petard.
