About This Book
Who was that masked woman? That's not the only question plaguing the perpetually inquiring mind of Perry Mason. Did the wealthy Fremont C. Sabin divorce his wife before his untimely death? That's the multimillion-dollar question. And the right answer will mean a windfall for either the dead man's angry son or headstrong widow. Each has accused the other of destroying Sabin's will—and murdering Sabin.
