The Case of the Howling Dog :: Гарднер Эрл Стенли
Страница: 1 из 146Аннотация: "When a potential client wants to see Perry Mason about a howling dog and a will, the attorney is not interested. He does not enjoy drawing wills, and wonders if the man shouldn't see a veterinarian. However, when the man asks whether a will is legal if the person who made it had been executed for murder, immediately Mason becomes interested. He finds, in addition to the will and the dog, a man who had run away with the wife of another, and a sexy housekeeper."

Chapter 1
Della Street held open the door to the inner office, and spoke in the tone which a woman instinctively uses in speaking to a child or a very sick man.
"Go right in, Mr. Cartright," she said. "Mr. Mason will see you."
A broadshouldered, rather heavyset man, of about thirtytwo, with haunted brown eyes, walked into the office, and stared at the sober countenance of Perry Mason.
"You're Perry Mason," he asked, "the lawyer?"
Mason nodded.
"Sit down," he said.
