THE CASE OF THE LONG-LEGGED MODELS by Erle Stanley Gardner

WHEN GAMBLING WITH GANGSTERS, MURDER IS A SURE THING.....

Stephanie Falkner's father made his living by gambling-untill he flew in the face of the Mob and got swatted...perma-nently. Now Stephanie is heir to some valuable real estate holdings, and locked into negotiations with a killer.

She's willing to sell the stock to the smooth-talking, sinister George Casselman. Enter legal eagle Perry Mason, a close friend of Stephanie's future father-in-law, who means to make sure that the brutal buyer pays dearly for his investment. But when Casselman becomes a corpse -courtesy of an unknown killer-and a gun turns up under Stephanie's pillow, the lawyer is forced to wonder if his winsome client is a wild card.
