About This Book

A CASE OF FORSAKEN IDENTITY

Perry Mason's keen eye for the ladies gets him an earful of intriguing information from a pretty woman applying for a very odd job. Seems a mysterious Mr. Hines is advertising for a young brunette, and he's very specific about what her wants...right down to her exact measurements! The looker who lands the gig gets to live in a posh apartment, wear fine clothes, and collect a generous salary. All she has to do is leave her life behind and pretend to e someone else.

Struggling model Eva Martell is thrilled when she gets the nod to play the dark-haired double. But her no-nonsense Aunt Adelle doesn't like the scenario one bit. She asks Mason to punch a few holes in Hines's story and see what leaks out. But when someone punches a hole in Hines--with a bullet--the masquerade becomes a foul play, with Mason front row center and a murderer lurking in the wings.
