Publisher's Summary:
"The Case of the Irate Witness," the mystery which is the star of this collection of 4 novelettes, is the only one that the incomparable Erle Stanley Gardner ever wrote featuring Perry Mason in short story form. Each of the stories revolves around the subject of stolen jewels and each story is a gem in itself.
In "The Case of the Irate Witness" (1953), Perry Mason sets off for a peaceful weekend's fishing in the mountains but even here the master lawyer is unable to leave detection behind. After being stopped at a police roadblock checking on a big robbery in Jebson City, Perry Mason gets involved in defending the accused, culminating in a stunning example of Mason's famous courtroom dexterity.
In "The Jeweled Butterfly" (1952), Peggy Castle writes a gossip column in the company paper. She gets a note that the curvy Stella is going to meet the studly Don at a local nightclub. Peggy grabs a table and waits. She ends up getting involved in a jewelry robbery case involving the company and Stella's murder.
In "Something Like a Pelican" (1942), Leith has a knack for putting together threads of different incidents and coming up with solutions to crimes. In this story he figures out what a woman throwing a fur cape out a window has to do with missing top secret blueprints.
In "A Man Is Missing" (1946), in rural Idaho a man with amnesia is missing. He had a picture taken of himself in front of a cabin he built and sent it to his wife. He said he had bouts of amnesia following a car accident. A detective from the big city is on his way out to solve the case. Local sheriff Bill Catlin shows him country sheriffs know a thing or two.
Members Reviews:
"A Man is Missing" is worth the price of the book.
Uneven collection of four stories. The title story, a Perry Mason mystery, is the weakest of the four. The "Jeweled Butterfly" introduces two new "detectives" - Peggy Castle and her Uncle Benedict. They solve the mystery is somewhat leisurely fashion. "Something Like a Pelican" is from the Lester Leith series. These are all fun. This one features Leith trying to become a writer, struggling over how to begin his article. No doubt Gardner himself experienced this challenge at some point during his writing career. The fourth story, "A Man is Missing", is a gem. What makes this story so appealing is Gardner's enthusiastic description of a pack trip into rural Idaho. It's clear he once went on such a trip and loved it.
