Always a fun read. This one is different in that Mason starts out behind the eight ball.

Mason grinned. "There are no ethics when you're dealing with the police. Or I should say when the police are dealing with you. You're supposed to be bound by ethics. The police don't have ethics. They act on the assumption that they're 'getting the truth,' whereas you are 'protecting a criminal.'"

Has all the basic elements of the Perry Mason books you expect: an odd clue (the buried clock), Perry having a witness or client go into hiding, Perry and Paul Drake entering a house to find a body, courtroom scenes, etc.
