Erle Stanley Gardner

Three crime classics in one volume starring the defense lawyer who inspired the HBO series.

From the Edgar Award–winning author, these novels from the long-running, multimillion-selling mystery series that inspired the HBO hit starring Matthew Rhys include:

When he speaks with Lola's husband, he discovers the woman has run off with her daughter's boyfriend—who happens to be an important witness in a lawsuit. Soon Mason is caught up in a case involving forgery and murder . . .

"The only dull pages in this book are the blank ones." —The New York Times

 

The Case of the Lonely Heiress

Marilyn Marlow has inherited a good deal of money from her mother. But the money originated with another will—that of her mother's wealthy employer. Now his relatives are contesting the will and the key witness to its signing has just been murdered. It's up to the sleuthing lawyer to clear the cloud of suspicion over Miss Marlow's head . . .

"No one has ever matched Gardner for swift, sure exposition." —Kirkus Reviews
The Case of the Dubious Bridegroom

Edward Garvin is a very successful businessman with a very unhappy ex-wife—who wants his money.

"A stellar ending." —Kirkus Reviews
