Summary

Unlucky in Love

Years ago Alden Leeds found a rich vein of gold in the Klondike. Now his greedy relatives fear he's planning to throw his fortune away on a gold-digging spouse, Emily Milicant. So to prevent the two from joining in holy matrimony, they commit their affluent kin to a sanitarium on a trumped-up charge.

Then Leeds escapes, only to end up in the company of Emily's blackmailing brother, John, a manufacturer of fixed dice, rolling bones that always come up seven. But when John is murdered - with Leeds's fingerprints found all over the apartment - Perry Mason must crack a baffling case before his client bumps from the nut house to the jail house....

Great moments, overly convoluted plot

Very enjoyable. Entertaining story although it wouldn't have hurt to cut a plot twist or two. Some great characters return, we get two trials for the price of one. A lot (a bit too much) happens.
Great character development for Perry and some ominous foreshadowing. Interesting message about justice.

I took a point off the narration because chewing gum vigorously does not necessarily mean chewing gum audibly and that got annoying real fast.
