It was the first ever Perry Mason novel.Into Perry's law office strolls sexy femme fatale Eva Griffin. It seems that Eva was out having dinner with Harrison Burke, a well-known politician, when there was a robbery at the restaurant. Eva and Harrison made their way out, but the cops know that Harrison had a woman with him. A scandal sheet named Spicy Bits gets wind of this and is preparing to publish. Eva, who is married, enlists Perry to pay off Frank Locke, the editor of Spicy Bits.Perry accepts the job reluctantly, since he disapproves of paying off blackmailers. In fact, his meeting with Locke is a fiasco as Perry insults Locke and Locke vows to publish. Perry soon learns a couple of surprising facts: the real publisher of Spicy Bits is not Locke (a front man), but wealthy high-society businessman George Belter. And Eva is Belter's wife.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Events take a turn when George Belter is murdered.

As You Know: When Perry is pushing Paul Drake to find who the gun's registered to before the cops do, he says "You represented the Merchants Protective Association that kept duplicate records of all firearms sold in the city." Perry feels compelled to tell Della that the reason Della dislikes Eva is because while Eva is a Gold Digger, "You’re different. Your family was rich. Then they lost their money. You went to work." | |
