This 1960 pocket edition of Erle Stanley Gardner’s “The Case of the Stuttering Bishop” offers a glimpse into the golden age of American detective fiction. Gardner, a prolific writer and lawyer by trade, created the iconic character of Perry Mason, the brilliant criminal defense attorney who became a household name through novels, films, and a long-running television series. Published in 1936, this particular installment finds Mason embroiled in a case involving a bishop accused of murdering a man during a church service. With its intricate plot, snappy dialogue, and Gardner’s keen understanding of legal proceedings, this novel exemplifies the author’s mastery of the mystery genre. Despite its well-worn cover and light foxing, a testament to its enduring popularity, the book’s interior remains crisp and readable, allowing collectors and readers to immerse themselves in a quintessential Perry Mason adventure from a bygone era.
