In The Case of the Lazy Lover, the brilliant defence attorney takes on a case where a client's reluctance to reveal the truth of his whereabouts threatens to send an innocent man to the gallows — and where every secret unearthed opens a new avenue of suspicion.\n\nErle Stanley Gardner, one of the most commercially successful crime writers of the twentieth century, constructs a tightly plotted legal thriller with the precision of a craftsman and the pace of a runaway train. His Perry Mason novels — and this entry is no exception — are celebrated for their ingenious courtroom theatrics, cunning plot reversals, and the unshakeable confidence of a lawyer who always seems one step ahead of the prosecution. With a cast of morally ambiguous characters and a mystery that keeps its hand concealed until the final moment, The Case of the Lazy Lover reminds readers why Gardner's work defined an entire era of American crime fiction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130586046683,"sku":"2026100007660-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2081f32c-1d8e-4f5f-a0d2-89ddaf151c8f.png?v=1786586866","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007660-secondhand-the-case-of-the-lazy-lover","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
