THE CASE OF THE BORROWED BRUNETTE por Gardner, Erle Stanley - 2021

NY: Penzler Publishers: American Mystery Classics, 2021. 1st printing with complete number line beginning with 1. A fine, as new, unread copy. Introduction by Otto Penzler. Part of the American Mystery Classics Series. When Perry Mason stumbles upon a classified ad for a brown haired woman with very specific physical attributes, he takes note of the seemingly suspicious circumstances surrounding the job posting. Then the woman hired for the job gets in touch, describing the strange requests of her new employer-who pays her and her chaperone to stay inside an apartment and answer to another woman’s name-and Mason knows there’s a more knotted plot at play. But by the time he works out the first mystery, a second, with murder, is just getting started, and that’s only the first twist that awaits him as he endeavors to prove the innocence of "the borrowed brunette.".
