   - Ei tämänhetkisiä Keskustelu-viestiketjuja tästä kirjasta. A lot of the book happens away from the natural home of PM. He does give HB a good reaming in the courtroom, so this is a bit of a classic. (  ) yamanoor | Oct 3, 2021 |  Nellie Conway, a practical nurse, comes to Perry Mason concerned that her patient's husband is trying to poison her patient. She hires Perry for $1 to help her find out. When Perry gets the results that the pills the husband gave Nellie to give to his wife are not poison, it looks like the case is over. But it is not! The husband, Nathan Bain, accuses Nellie of stealing some of his wife's expensive jewellery. Now Perry finds himself defending Nellie on theft charges. Of course he gets her off, but all is not done. Seems Nathan Bain has a suspicious history, and when his wife does wind up dead from poisoning, Perry again finds himself defending a member of this group in court. This time it is the half-sister of the victim. Along with finding out what is in Nathan Bain's background and that of others, who is to benefit from the victim's death, and making it all make sense, Perry is dealing with a Sargeant Holcomb. I prefer Tragg to Holcomb for the police presence. Holcomb seem to be close to a by-the-book cop, where Tragg does give Perry a tiny bit of slack. Over all, I again enjoyed another Perry Mason mystery. Side note: I discovered that the plot of this book was used for two different episodes of the TV series.

Poker-faced Nellie Conway, the nurses bed-ridden Elizabeth Bain, brings trouble when she calls on Perry Mason with a glass phial containing four pills which she suspects are poison. Her employer, Nathan Bain, she says, had promised her money to give them to his wife. But when Mason has one of the pills analyzed it is found to consist of acetylsalicylic--in other words good old-fashioned aspirin. Is Perry Mason's client a hoaxer, a psychopath, or something trickier? Nathan Bain's next move is to accuse Nellie of theft and provide proof by shining ultra-violet light on her fingers. The case which began like a joke suddenly becomes sinister. Perry gets his client out of this spot but trails her to Orleans where he has a hard job disentangling fact from theory on the subject of Mrs. Bain. This is one of the toughest, most complicated webs of intrigue that Perry Mason has ever had to fight his way through. The Case of the Fiery Fingers shows Mason at his most efficient and Erle Stanley Gardner at his most professional. Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
