Future Oscar winner Louise Fletcher is the Perry Mason client in this story. She's the private secretary to a female Mickey Spillane played by Beverly Garland. This is a complex tale with a whole lot of different elements that don't pull together until Raymond Burr wrings a confession while cross examining a witness at Fletcher's trial.
Garland is something else, she's gotten too close to the people she writes about and now is involved herself. Fearing for her own life she sends Fletcher on an errand to pick up a package at a remote wilderness cabin. All that Fletcher finds is a man who disappears and a dead body. That's when she sends for Perry Mason.
This is one of the better written and intricately constructed Perry Mason stories, this one should not be missed.
