Publisher's summary
The voice on the phone was young and silky. The woman it belonged to touched something soft in Perry Mason's cool, legalistic mind. The offer she made was too intriguing to pass up. But what began as a request for a simple courtroom visit turned into an intrigue of baffling complexity...as well as one of the most cleverly rigged frame-ups of Perry's career.
It's a case of a family blessed with millions and, riddled with scandal, a case of accidental manslaughter that explodes into a charge of airtight murder, a case of a corpse dying not once, but twice. To save his client, Perry will have to break all the rules - and more than one law.

In 1984, John Thompson was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a prominent white man in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was sent to Angola Prison and confined to his cell for 23 hours a day. However, Thompson adamantly proclaimed his innocence and just needed lawyers who believed that his trial had been mishandled and would step up to the plate against the powerful DA’s office. But who would fight for Thompson’s innocence when he didn’t have an alibi for the night of the murder and there were two key witnesses to confirm his guilt?

Simpson to the murders of Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman, but that didn't mean it would be easy. For the woman charged with prosecuting the "Trial of the Century", the light of fame would glow white hot, as the media scrutinized her strategy, her family, even her hair. As the case spun out of control, Marcia Clark stood tall.

Typical Perry Mason tale
Another reviewer reviewed this case negatively, but it seemed like a typical Mason story to me, and I’ve read almost all of them. The plot is somewhat hard to follow, but not too bad, and the courtroom scene at the end very satisfying.
All the Cendese readings are brilliant.

Easy to listen to
Enjoyable. I really like the old stories. There is, as a reflection of those times, racism and sexism. Nice to see we are making progress.

too complicated plot too little action
compared to any number of similar mysteries this is really. Mason is very long-winded and trite. this book begs for a parody.
