The D. A. Draws a Circle
by Erle Stanley Gardner[from the back cover] "THE D.A. DRAWS TWO CIRCLES Selby narrowed the compass so that it would draw a circle a scant half inch in diameter. Slowly, deliberately he drew a circle around a point on the map. "There, Carr, is your limit. Stay within that circle, and you won't be molested. Start moving around outside of it, and you'll wish you hadn't." With these words Douglas Selby brought to an end one of the most baffling cases the young District Attorney of Madison County had been called upon to solve--a case that had begun with a blood-stained suit reported by a driver for the Acme Cleaners & Dyers. A naked man was found dead in a barranca out at Orange Heights, shot twice in exactly the same place. Another man disappeared. Then a speedometer which registered ninety miles for each trip led the D.A. to draw his first circle, and with the help of Sheriff Rex Brandon and reporter Sylvia Martin he forced the hand of a slick and ingenious criminal lawyer and brought to justice a slick and ingenious criminal."

An enticing redhead had been murdered; the county newspaper, The Blade, was after his neck; he had an unsolved jewellery theft on his hands and that sly, unscrupulous attorney A.B. Carr was running circles around him.Selby knew that somehow or other all four of his troubles were tied up in one explosive bundle. But how could he open the bundle ... without setting off more murder?
The D.A. Calls It Murder
by Erle Stanley GardnerIn this legal mystery from the creator of Perry Mason, a newly elected District Attorney must prove his worth with a puzzling case. In a small town north of Los Angeles, Doug Selby claims narrow victory in a hotly-contested race for District Attorney. Then his troubles begin: First, when the local paper, supportive of the incumbent, immediately launches an effort to get Selby recalled. And then there’s the murdered man that turns up in the very hotel that housed Selby’s campaign headquarters. If he can quickly solve the case, Selby will prove that he deserves his new position; if not, he risks providing more fodder to his enemies at The Blade. What follows is a fast-paced and twisty investigation involving a famous actress, a stolen identity, and plenty of red herrings as Selby, the sheriff, and a sympathetic journalist endeavor to determine whodunit. This clever Golden Age page-turner features the same legal acumen that fans expect from the author of the Perry Mason series and Erle Stanley Gardner’s signature snappy dialogue and quick plotting, as well. Originally published in 1937 and reissued for the first time in over thirty years, The D.A. Calls It Murder is a classic legal mystery with a lead who starkly contrasts with Gardner’s more famous character. Doug Selby went on to star in eight more celebrated novels.
