The Case of the Fabulous Fake
by Erle Stanley GardnerSILENCE IS MURDER Perry Mason's beautiful new client isn't giving anything away, not even her name, and he suspects that what she does choose to reveal is mostly lies.

In fact, his headstrong client, who identifies herself only as "36-24-36," is headed for disaster--not only into a blackmailer's clutches but into a lethal trap from which not even Perry Mason's brilliant courtroom sorcery may be able to extricate her. Alive, anyway . . . THE ORIGINAL COURTROOM NOVELS

The Case of the Forty Thieves
by John RhodeThe Case of the Forty Thieves, first published in 1953 (and also published under the title Death at the Inn), is part of the series of mysteries featuring private detective Dr. Priestley. Author John Rhode, a pen name of Cecil Street (1884-1964), was a prolific writer of mostly detective novels, publishing more than 140 books between 1924 and 1961. From the dustjacket: It was the veteran sleuth Dr. Priestley who first suspected that an outbreak of scattered robberies throughout a wide radius around London was the work of a single crime syndicate. Inspector Jimmy Waghorn of Scotland Yard investigated each case separately - the missing Persian rug, the stolen mail bag, the two-gallon drum of narcotic poison and other robberies. Here are half a dozen mysteries combined into one master plot, a story packed with action, suspense and some unusually shrewd police work by two of Scotland Yard's top operators - the indefatigable Jimmy Waghorn and the veteran crime analyst Dr. Priestley.
The Case of the Frightened Friend (Andrew Tillet, Sara Wiggins & Inspector Wyatt #6)

Mostly it&’s a little embarrassing, but when Andrew&’s classmate Cortland makes a very strange request, it becomes handy to have friends who can launch an official investigation . . . as well as ones who work in more unofficial ways. Cortland thinks there&’s something not quite right about his grandfather&’s poor health, but they&’ll have to get the old man out from under the watchful eye of Dr. Thurlow before they can be sure. This calls for another ingenious scheme . . . and for keen-minded Inspector Wyatt to connect a retired admiral to a high-level intelligence leak. Someone is not above committing treason—or murder—and has no intention of going quietly.
