The novel “The Case of the Long-Legged Models” is a most fascinating courtroom intrigue woven by Erle Stanley Gardner's constant hero, lawyer Perry Mason. Mason meets a model who asks him to solve the murder of her father, and the renowned attorney, together with his assistants — the charming secretary Della Street and detective agency owner Paul Drake — begins another investigation.
As always, the work is distinguished by lightness of style, a breakneck pace, a tangled plot, and the captivating legal daredevilry of the hero, who is called the “tiger of the social jungle.”
