Chapter 1
Della Street held open the door of Perry Mason's private office.
"Mr. J.R. Bradbury," she said.
The man who pushed past her, into the room, was around fortytwo years of age, with quick gray eyes that surveyed Perry Mason with ready friendship.
"How do you do, Mr. Mason?" he said, extending his hand.
Perry Mason arose from his swivel chair to take the hand. Della Street stood for a moment in the door, watching the two men.
Perry Mason was taller than Bradbury. He was, perhaps, heavier, but his heaviness was the result of big bones and heavy muscles, rather than the heaviness of fat. There was in his motions, as he arose from the chair and shook hands, a suggestion of finality. The man seemed as substantial as a granite rock, and there was something of the appearance of rugged granite in his face, which was entirely without expression as he said:
"I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Bradbury. Have a chair."
Della Street caught Perry Mason's eye.
"Is there anything you want?" she asked.
The lawyer shook his head. Then, as Della Street closed the door, turned to his visitor.
