A California D.A. investigates a corpse without clothes and bloody clothes without a body in this classic mystery by the author of the Perry Mason series.

"The bestselling author of the century... a master storyteller." -The New York Times

Alphonse Baker Carr is the smooth-talking defense lawyer murderers and gangsters turn to when they want to win in court. To escape the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles, he's moving into a stately home in Madison City's exclusive Orange Heights neighborhood. The locals are not pleased. Rita Artrim lives in the house next door and is worried Carr will attract an unsavory element. Of course, no matter how much she begs District Attorney Doug Selby for help, there is nothing he can do. There is no law against buying a house...

But once A.B. Carr arrives in town, trouble follows. A suit with a bloodied bullet hole appears in a local dry-cleaning truck. Then, a naked corpse is discovered near Carr's house, shot twice in the exact same spot. Now it's up to Selby to decipher the puzzling clues to build his case and deliver justice. Only then can he send the killer packing.

Originally published in 1938.
