NOVEL ORI ERLE STANLEY GARDNER: THE CASE OF THE DROWNING DUCK

Used book This The Case of the Drowning Duck by Erle Stanley Gardner tells the story of Perry Mason's investigation into the murders that took place eighteen years ago. A man dies in the kitchen, gas smoke seeps into the house, a duck seems to sink in an aquarium, but does not die. Maybe that fact has something to do with the murder?

John L. Witherspoon, a wealthy nobleman, was reluctant to let his daughter marry Marvin Adams, the son of a convicted killer, something Marvin's mother managed to keep secret - until now.

There was a definite reason why Witherspoon didn’t approve his daughter Lois’ love affair, and he hired Perry Mason to break it up. If Mason would investigate an 18-year-old murder, Witherspoon was sure the results would change his daughter’s mind.

Perry took the job because several things about the old case intrigued him. And because he had a hunch that the answer to it might save Lois’ happiness. Mason, Delia Street and Paul Drake went to El Templo, Witherspoon’s great California ranch; they went into action at once, and soon they smoked out a string of crooked plots, brought several shadowy figures into too strong a light, and ran plump into murder-up-to-date with Mason caught in the middle
