The Case of the Buried Clock
by Erle Stanley Gardner
Category: California

"Perry Mason solves a baffler when he learns why a glamorous widow who should have a husband, didn't. A bank clerk boasted brasenly about a $90,000 embezzlement. A client on trial for murder wouldn't even talk to him. A gold mine yielded no gold. A certain gal was always on hand when he wanted her miles away, but always missing when he needed her most. And why an alarm clock ticked away cheerfully underground." --
