A Cardinal edition C294 | Doug Selby #9

D.A. Doug Selby was in trouble again.

1. An enticing redhead had been murdered.
2. The county newspaper, The Blade, was after his neck.
3. He had an unsolved jewelery theft on his hands.

AND

4. 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?
---------------------------------------
Erle Stanley Gardner was an American lawyer and author of detective stories who also published under the pseudonyms A.A. Fair, Kyle Corning, Charles M. Green, Carleton Kendrake, Charles J. Kenny, Les Tillray, and Robert Parr.

Innovative and restless in his nature, he was bored by the routine of legal practice, the only part of which he enjoyed was trial work and the development of trial strategy. In his spare time, he began to write for pulp magazines, which also fostered the early careers of Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. He created many different series characters for the pulps, including the ingenious Lester Leith, a `gentleman thief` in the tradition of Raffles, and Ken Corning, a crusading lawyer who was the archetype of his most successful creation, the fictional lawyer and crime-solver Perry Mason, about whom he wrote more than eighty novels. With the success of Perry Mason, he gradually reduced his contributions to the pulp magazines, eventually withdrawing from the medium entirely, except for non-fiction articles on travel, Western history, and forensic science.
