“I think forensic accountants might find the first section of this book interesting. The rest is only for the biggest Perry Mason fans.”

“The Case of the Lame Canary by Erle Stanley Gardner is the 11th book in the Perry Mason Mystery series. Perry Mason is intrigued by a client carrying a cage with a lame canary and agrees to take on a divorce case for her sister only to find himself embroiled in another murder case. These books are a comfort read for me as I have been a fan for over 40 years and it is a pleasure to revisit them once again. I always know what to expect and this book especially showcases that special relationship between Perry Mason and his secretary Della Street.”
About Erle Stanley Gardner
Erle Stanley Gardner (1889–1970) was an author and lawyer who wrote nearly 150 detective and mystery novels that sold more than one million copies each, making him easily the best-selling American writer of his time. He ranks as one of the most prolific specialists of crime fiction due to his popular alter ego, lawyer-detective Perry Mason. A self-taught lawyer, Gardner was admitted to the California bar in 1911 and began defending poor Chinese and Mexicans as well as other clients. Eventually his writing career, which began with the pulps, pushed his law career aside. As proven in his Edgar Award–winning The Court of Last Resort, Gardner never gave up on the cases of wrongly accused individuals or unjustly convicted defendants.
