The undisputed best-selling American writer of his time, Erle Stanley Gardner wrote over a 130 detective and mystery novels, the most famous of which feature the criminal defense lawyer Perry Mason. Gardner created several other popular characters, including Doug Selby, a virtuous crusading district attorney, the middle-aged, greedy private detective Bertha Cool and the knowledgeable legalist Donald Lam. Gardner’s works are noted for their complex plots and realistic depictions of legal proceedings, based on the author’s personal experiences working as a lawyer. For the first time in publishing history, this e Book presents Gardner’s complete novels, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, concise introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.

Please note: the posthumous Cool and Lam novel ‘The Knife Slipped’ was first published in 2016 and so cannot appear in this edition, due to copyright restrictions.
