THE CASE OF THE QUEENLY CONTESTANT

Perry Mason is asked by Ellen Adair to deal with the privacy invasion of a local newspaper now threatening to exhume her whereabouts--she had won a beauty contest but disappeared shortly thereafter to have an illegitimate baby. His client is not altogether honest with him and circumstantial evidence accumulates against her when a two million dollar will is also exposed. This legal eagle, also a national symbol, still performs with the professional competence which makes him the title holder (123) as the ""world's best selling mystery writer.
