Perry Mason: The Case of the Mandarin Murder

Her name is Laura Kapp, and she looks as if she's in trouble. It doesn't take long for you to find out how her husband wants to divorce her. Not your favorite kind of case at 7 in the evening. But then, it isn't like Perry Mason to leave an attractive young woman in distress either - especially when her husband is Victor Kapp, the most famous restaurateur in Los Angeles. You take the case.

And what a case it is . Because barely 12 hours later, Victor Kapp is dead - murdered. Laura is in jail, charged with his death. And facing trial very, very soon. Only she swears she didn't do it . And you think she might be right. You'll have to work fast - and smart. Dig into people's lives. Like Russell Miller, the food critic whose career was ruined when he gave Victor's restaurant a bad review. Margot Duboq, Kapp's chet and the secret of his success - she seems to have a secret of her own. And the Masters couple, Julian and Suzanne, he a bitter partner of Kapp's, she reputedly a very close friend.

You'll have help: the savvy Della Street - your secretary - and the wily detective Paul Drake. And if you're good, you'll convince the jury that your client isn't the killer. If you're very good (after all, you are Perry Mason) the real murderer will break down and confess - but only after you've figured out the true, twisted story. Of course, for a person of your talents, it ought to be just another day at the office...
