It's a real shame that Gardner's Mason series isn't available in ebook formats. I really love that series; especially the earlier books, in which Erle Stanley Gardner, himself a lawyer, earned the ire of many of his colleagues by writing of a lawyer who, as often as not, bent and sometimes outright broke laws to benefit his clients. I'll never forget how his planted evidence in The Case of the Counterfeit Eye—meant to exonerate his client—backfired and implicated his client instead. Those early Mason novels were always two-fors—two mysteries for the price of one. The first, of course, was who was the real murderer. The second was how Mason was going to get himself out of the pickle he had got himself into without getting disbarred.
