Аннотация

Goldfish — a golddigger — and a valuable secret formula net Perry Mason the most baffling case of his career — and he nearly gets caught on his own hook...
Humorless Harrington Faulkner was fit to be tied. That golddigger was making preposterous demands — but if he didn’t pay, his goldfish would die. And they were special goldfish — he’d developed the strain himself — Veil Tail Moor Telescopes, they were, the ‘fish of death’...
Perry Mason thought he was a crank with a taller fish story than usual.
And then the fish disappeared and a body was found on the bathroom floor — beside a shattered goldfish bowl...
From then on Della Street and Perry Mason are in the case up to their necks, along with:
SALLY MADISON: a beautiful girl with model proportions, definitely not as good as gold...
TOM GRIDLEY: a chemist and an idealist — the inventor of formulas and trouble for Sally...
JANE FAULKNER: the second Mrs. Faulkner, who turns out to be not as dumb as she looks...
ELMER CARSON: cagey co-owner of Faulkner’s business with a proprietary interest in other things...
GENEVIEVE FAULKNER: the first Mrs. Faulkner and the reason Harrington Faulkner was afraid of divorces...
WILFRED DIXON: her business counsellor who knew how to bluff but didn’t like to be called...
JAMES STAUNTON: a gentleman who underwrites more than insurance...
