Perry Mason-- Another redoubtable detective, or more accurately lawyer-detective, makes his appearance in print in The Case of the Velvet Claws (1933).
Earle Stanley Gardner's hero enjoyed a fictional career that encompassed 82 novels, making Gardener the most prolific of all the mystery writers honored in this set.
Gardner had hands-on knowledge of his fictional
materials, for he worked as a defense attorney in California some twenty years
before launching Perry's career, although he had been writing at least that long
for the pulp magazines, producing, according to one source, "over a million
words a year."
