Description

Sleuthing attorney Perry Mason can't resist a good mystery, so when he sees an older woman being accused of shoplifting during a department store outing with his assistant, Della Street, he doesn't hesitate to intervene. Armed with an assumption of innocence and the legal acumen to silence her accuser, Mason leaps to the woman's defense-until her niece appears, acknowledging her aunt's guilt, and pays for the stolen items. Soon thereafter, Aunt Sarah is accused of stealing a valuable set of diamonds, and her niece, Virginia, enlists Mason's aid. The man who left the jewels in Sarah's care insists that she didn't take them, but when he turns up dead, she's left with nobody to vouch for her. Nobody, that is, but Perry Mason-expert in the art of defending the innocent. The thirteenth novel in the bestselling Perry Mason series, The Case of the Shoplifter's Shoe is an exemplary episode for the character, featuring the complex plots, snappy dialogue, and break-neck pacing that make the novels perennial favorites of mystery fans everywhere. Includes discussion guide questions for use in book clubs.
