Book Summary: 

The Case of the Fugitive Nurse (1954) is the 43rd novel in Erle Stanley Gardner’s renowned Perry Mason series. In this legal thriller, Perry Mason is approached by Steffanie Malden, a young widow whose prominent surgeon husband, Summerfield Malden, has died in a private plane crash. Steffanie seeks Mason's help to locate a missing $100,000 in undeclared cash that her late husband and his head nurse, Gladys Foss, had hidden away—potentially to avoid IRS scrutiny.

However, the case takes a darker turn when Steffanie is suddenly charged with orchestrating her husband's death. Mason must navigate a labyrinth of deceit, uncovering hidden motives and challenging both legal and moral boundaries to uncover the truth. The novel culminates in a classic courtroom showdown, showcasing Mason's sharp legal acumen and his commitment to justice.

About the Author: 

Erle Stanley Gardner (1889–1970) was an American author and lawyer, best known for creating the iconic lawyer-detective Perry Mason. Gardner wrote nearly 100 detective and mystery novels, many of which sold over a million copies each, making him one of the best-selling American writers of his time. 

Before his writing career, Gardner practiced law in California, defending marginalized clients. His experiences in the courtroom informed his writing, particularly in crafting realistic legal scenarios. Beyond fiction, Gardner was deeply involved in criminal justice reform, founding The Court of Last Resort in the 1940s to investigate and rectify miscarriages of justice. 

Gardner's Perry Mason series has left a lasting legacy in the mystery genre, influencing countless writers and adaptations across various media.
