Description
A mosquito noise ... somewhere in this room ... perculiar mosquito ...Abruply, Velma Starler broke off her drowsy speculations. She reached for her flashlight and snapped it on. The buzzing noise stopped. Rising from her bed, Velma walked over to the window. Something moved in the yard below. A man was trying to lose himself in the shadows. Suddenly, he turned toward her and raised his hand. Two bullets crashed through the window.Was the drowsy mosquito a harbinger of death? Before Perry Mason could find the anser, he had to evade a forgery charge, overcome a dose of arsenic poisoning, and prospect for a lost murderer.
