Written by prolific author Erle Stanley Gardner, the story thrusts Mason into a morally tangled case when a man embroiled in a scandal begs for his help, only for the situation to spiral into a murder investigation. Gardner's prose is sharp and propulsive, combining courtroom drama with street-level intrigue to create a narrative that crackles with tension from the first page to the last. A cornerstone of the legal thriller genre, this debut Mason mystery set the template for the long-running series and remains as gripping today as when it was first published.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956323627227,"sku":"2026200008216-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/66ff0ad0-206d-4e97-a9d5-686763b83c2c.png?v=1783499680","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200008216-secondhand-the-case-of-the-velvet-claws","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
