Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
With Perry Mason, Erle Stanley Gardner introduced to American letters the notion of the lawyer as a hero—and detective—which were remarkable innovations. He even gave defense lawyers a good name to boot. His Mason books remain tantalizing on every page and brilliant.

“The Case of the Rolling Bones by Erle Stanley Gardner is the 15th book in the Perry Mason Mystery series. Perry mason is initially hired to help Aiden Leeds, whose greedy relatives were tryng to stop him marrying by having him committed for senile dementia, only to end up defending him for murder of his blackmailer. Another complex and convoluted Perry Mason case involving multiple mysteries, fraud and identity issues. Strange that police were able to get away with bugging the detectives and lawyers phones. I loved how Perry managed to avoid his speeding fine and the way that he is able to unravel the mystery. It is interesting to see how things have changed from when the book was written in 1939, but it is still enjoyable and entertaining to read.”

About Erle Stanley Gardner
Erle Stanley Gardner (1889-1970) was the best-selling American author of the 20th century, mainly due to the enormous success of his Perry Mason series, which numbered more than 80 novels and inspired a half-dozen motion pictures, radio programs, and a long-running television series that starred Raymond Burr. Having begun his career as a pulp writer, Gardner brought a hard-boiled style and sensibility to the early Mason books, but gradually developed into a more classic detective story novelist, showing enough clues to allow the astute reader to solve the mystery. For more than a quarter of a century he wrote more than a million words a year under his own name and numerous pseudonyms, the most famous being A.A. Fair.
