StoryErle Stanley Gardner's 1948 novel
We catch Paul reading a copy of Lonely
Hearts Calling magazine in his office.
He's "on duty," hired to
investigate an ad placed by a lonely heiress named
Marilyn Cartwright who is looking for male companionship.
Or so she says. The heiress is really looking for the con
man who drove her sister to suicide.
When Marilyn does find the man, Barnaby
Baker, she turns on the charm convincingly. She hopes to
catch him red-handed in the act of embezzlement and
fraud, and turn him over to the police. Baker is murdered
before Marilyn can get the goods on him. Perry's job is
to convince the police that Marilyn didn't kill the man
in an act of revenge.
