To begin the sixth season, we have a classic Mason mystery that is interesting and entertaining. In this show we get a look at the art of used books and how people abuse the system for profit. Which is a different type of plot with different techniques used by Perry to defend his client.
Ellen Carter is working at a used book store that is owned by an task-master named Joseph Kraft. Mr Kraft has been taking later editions of books and then have people manipulate the books so that they can be offered as first editions. This is highly profitable since some books bring in thousands of dollars.
When one of the books that was going to be manipulated is stolen, Mr Kraft fires Ellen Carter. When the whereabouts of the book is found, Perry helps Ellen get her job back. But the next day Mr Kraft is killed and the only evidence points to Ellen as the murderer.
With a host of seedy characters and some nice detective work, Perry is able to cross-examine suspects until the true killer is found. Even though the killer may not be your first guess, by the end of the show all the questions will be answered.
Nice way to start season six.
NOTE- First episode to feature a different opening. Beginning with this episode, when the introductions are made Perry is along in the courtroom sitting at the desk. He then reads something in a folder and smiles. Then the introductions and cast members of the show begins.
