than just sing for her supper—she also dances and sells
cigarettes in a two-bit gambling parlor in a one-horse town. But

refusing to help fleece a fat-cat customer in a crooked card
game, she finds herself out of all three jobs. That's when she
sings her song of woe to Perry Mason, who promises to turn
her blues into greenbacks with the help of his crack team,
Delia Street and Paul Drake, and a hefty lawsuit.
Things are humming along just fine—until murder interrupts
the merry melody of Mason's crafty legal maneuvers. When the

shot to death, Mason is certain ifs a frame-up—and that-J/
his songbird client's belligerent boss is to blame.
Until his own gun is found at the scene. The ^
cocksure Mason will have to change his tune^mm/^ V.
