This book was first published in 1955. It is part of the Perry Mason series. I've read others in this series, and usually enjoy them. This was another that I enjoyed, even though I had a pretty good idea of who the murderers were about 2/3 of the way through the story.
Perry becomes involved in this case when a well-dressed woman, Olga, comes in and asks him to identify and protect her half sister, Eleanor, who seems to be suffering from amnesia. Olga feels sure that the amnesia is fake, and that Eleanor is pretending to have lost her memory to cover up for some jam she's gotten herself into.
The story involves murder, smuggling, several beautiful women, and, of course, Della Street and the always feeling overworked Paul Drake.
This story was a well-written mystery that I enjoyed.
This fulfills 2014 Vintage Mystery BINGO Golden--L Book with a "Spooky" Title.
