September Read/2

Title: The Case of the Fabulous Fake
Author: Gardner, Erle Stanley
Genre: Mystery
Book Description (from the inside flap):
     The client was young, blonde and beautiful, and she wanted to disappear. The trouble was she wouldn't say why, and she wouldn't give her name. So Perry Mason agreed to a code of identification based on her measurements: 36-24-36.
     But according to Della Street, the figures were padded, and it turned out, so was everything the client said.
My Read:
     I appreciate the following statement from the famous lawyer on page 190: "That's a duty that a lawyer owes to his client. Regardless of how many times he has been lied to in the past, he always has to keep the faith. He always has to believe that in the final showdown, the client is telling the truth and putting the cards face up on the table."
