The case of the crimson kiss

Four early short stories from the author of "Perry Mason" : The Case of the Crimson Kiss: Perry Mason deciphers (among other things) the mystery of the "crimson kiss" on the forehead of a murder victim... Fingers of Fong finds Dick Sprague matching wits with a Chinese murderer... In The Valley of Little Fears, a man and a dog have to come to terms with their fears and cowardice - and, perhaps, more... Crooked Lighning tells the tale of a gem agent pitted against a gem thief called Crooked Lightning. With the special Gardner twist in the tail... And At Arm's Length: Of Jerry Marr, a private detective who has to "create" his clients in an economic depression. Whose "tough-mindedness in his approach and brilliance in his deduction ... suggest a step in the evolution of Perry Mason."
