Download The Case of the Drowning Duck: Perry Mason, Book 20 AudioBook Free
Fowl play? A inactive man in the kitchen, gas fumes permeate the home, a duck appears to be drowning in the fishbowl, but it didn't die. Maybe that truth has something regarding murder? John L. Witherspoon, a wealthy patrician, is loath to let his princess marry Marvin Adams, the kid of the convicted murderer, something Marvin's mom managed to keep a secret - until now. To set the love-struck lass direct, Witherspoon engages Perry Mason to weigh the 20-year-old evidence that dispatched Marvin's daddy to the gallows, and demonstrate that the young man is kin to the murdering kind. Reopening the situation, however, quickly starts up a can of worms. While Mason dredges days gone by for new signs, a blackmailer threatens to dredge up the whole sordid affair in the population pages. Then the whistle-blower is done in by the dose of dangerous homemade gas, and the damning evidence factors to chemistry whiz Marvin. Like daddy, like kid? Like hell, says Mason, who models out to bird-dog the brilliant killer who's trying to turn the young swan into a sitting down duck.
