Blurb: “Dr. Logbert Denair kept his eye on the tape recorder as his nurse let the truth serum drip into Nadine Farr's vein at just the right speed to keep her in a state of drugged lethargy in which she would not tell a lie. • "Who was the man who hated you?" "Uncle Masher. He's dead."
"How did he die?" "POISON.
I killed him. "Where did you get the poison?"
Nadine Farr's answer was unintelligible. She slid off into a deep sleep. Dr. Denair quickly instructed the nurse as to what she should do. Then he packed the tape recorder and rushed to see Perry Mason for advice.
And that was how it began.
Perry Mason soon found himself defending a confessed murderer-with the police holding all the evidence. This was one case he was bound to lose!
