A little ridiculous, the idea of the famous criminal lawyer representing a cat--but Ashton pulled out a sheaf of bills to back his argument. And when Peter Laxter's heirs appeared on the scene with their blustering shyster lawyer, Perry Mason knew that there was more involved than Clinker, the cat. He was right. Before long, he found himself involved in two murders and a spurious honeymoon. The disrict attorney grew nasty. Perry Mason found himself on the spot, and the spot getting hotter...." --
