Book excerpt: Perry Mason's new client had snow-white hair, and confessed to being a great-grandmother; but she smoked big, black cigars, liked dancing, and got a great kick out of a fast life. She hired the detective to recover her granddaughter's I.O.U.'s before her husband, about to contest a divorce action, could make use of them. Perry Mason met the granddaughter outside the owner's offices on a gambling ship, twelve miles from shore. He forced her to get out, and after she had left, opened the door to the inner office... and discovered a corpse.
