The Case of the Crooked Candle - Erle Stanley Gardner - 1969 Vintage mystery paperback book - Perry Mason series

This 1969 Perry Mason mystery follows detective work at its finest as Gardner weaves together a murder aboard a yacht, a widow with secrets, and enough suspicious characters to keep you guessing. The paperback shows honest wear from its fifty-plus years—creased spine, worn edges—but the binding is solid and pages are clean, making it a sturdy read for collectors or fans rediscovering Gardner's efficient storytelling. A compact escape into classic detective fiction that travels well and costs less than a new release.
