The Case of the Lonely Heiress

From the "kingpin among mystery writers," a fight over a rich man's will turns deadly in this mystery in the series that inspired the hit HBO show (The New York Times).

From Edgar Award–winning author Erle Stanley Gardner, a mystery in his bestselling, long-running series and the inspiration for the HBO show starring Matthew Rhys and Tatiana Maslany.

Marilyn Marlow has inherited a good deal of money from her mother. But the money originated with another will—that of her mother's wealthy employer. Now his relatives are contesting the will, and it's Rose Keeling, the key witness to its signing, whose mind they'll need to sway.

When Rose is murdered, sleuthing lawyer Perry Mason must navigate a twisted case in order to get to the truth.
