England, 1914. The world is at war. Captain Hastings, injured and shaken, is invited to Styles Court to recover. It’s a grand old country house - the family home of his old friend - and a perfect haven. Or so it seems. But in the blistering summer heat, trouble is afoot. Simmering tensions are tearing the family apart, and it all comes to a head in the most horrifying way.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers. But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs. And she certainly never knew that her medical school earned the nickname Dead Med thanks to the tragic history of students overdosing on illegal drugs.

Another intriguing Perry Mason mystery
Fine mystery with a twist of an ending. Slightly different than the tv series' version.

A good one
I’ve read dozens of these Perry Mason stories and this is my favorite. Plus the narrator, Alexander Cendese, is perfect for the Erle Stanley Gardner tales. Highly recommended.

Great series (Even better than the TV series)
oh no...I was so excited...because listed below were the next 5 or 6 books in the series...but when I went to buy them a sign popped up "Ah shucks this item isn't available"...so disappointing. Alexander Cendese does a great job narrating this series and I sure hope the rest of the series becomes available again soon. I've purchased all the books that were available (40 give or take a few) and I sure would like to purchase the other 40. I've listened to all the ones available TWICE and am having Perry Mason withdrawal!!!

Ignominious
I had hoped for a pleasant trip down memory lane, but the stilted writing, inaccurate or missing details, chauvinism and shallow, stereotypical characters made this a chore to listen to. RIP Perry Mason.
