The Edgar Award-winning author's tale of a missing woman and a crime ring, featuring the lawyer and detective who inspired the HBO limited series. Defense lawyer Perry Mason needs a temporary typist, but the one he hires turns out to be more temporary than expected. When she disappears, leaving a couple of diamonds behind in her haste, Mason winds up taking on a new client: a gem importer in his office building who's been charged with smuggling and murder. But if Mason's going to untangle this case, finding the typist is key . . . This mystery is part of Edgar Award-winning author Erle Stanley Gardner's classic, long-running Perry Mason series, which has sold three hundred million copies and serves as the inspiration for the HBO show starring Matthew Rhys and Tatiana Maslany. "Millions of Americans never seem to tire of Gardner's thrillers." --The New York Times DON'T MISS THE NEW HBO ORIGINAL SERIES PERRY MASON, BASED ON CHARACTERS FROM ERLE STANLEY GARDNER'S NOVELS, STARRING EMMY AWARD WINNER MATTHEW RHYS… (meer)

If you’ve seen the 1950s Perry Mason TV show, you’ll feel comfortable with this series. If you’ve seen the 2020 HBO 8-series Perry Mason, well, that’s a whole different story. (

"Then came the pay-off. As the ship was off Gibraltar a helicopter hovered overhead. A man descended a rope ladder, dangled precariously from the last rung. The helicopter hovered over the deck of the ship, and Munroe Baxter dropped to the deck by the swimming pool, where Yvonne Manco was disporting herself in the sunlight in a seductive bathing suit."
"Romantic," Mason said.
"And opportune," Irving said dryly. (

Mae Wallace Jordan needs a place to hide. The building is swarming with cops. She steps into Perry Mason's office and is mistaken as the temporary typist the office is waiting for. Mae is a top-notch typist, so she goes along with the mistake. When she goes on her break she never comes back.

Perry has been hired to defend Duane Jefferson from the charge of murder of Monroe Baxter — whose body has never been found, along with some missing diamonds Baxter is suspected of stealing. Jefferson won't answer any of Perry's questions and it is no surprise Jefferson is found guilty. At that point, Perry goes into high gear to find the connections between Jefferson, Jordan, Baxter and the missing gems.

This seemed a little more complicated than the usual Perry Masons I've read. The fact that Perry's client is declared guilty was not really expected. Usually Perry wins the case, but not this time. Burger is delighted and basking in the light, but once more Perry wins. (

Even though I expected it (I read this before back in 1999), it was still a shock to have the jury come in with a verdict of guilty... (

Not one of the best. The ending felt rushed and the deductive processes were not really shown. Gardner has Mason "lose" the case, but then corrects the situation by a plot twist. (
