An art dealer claims a painting recently sold for a high price is an obvious fake. He said this to a young woman named Maxine Lindsay, and so she is Perry Mason's star witness in the seller's suit for slander. Then she vanishes leaving a dead body behind in her apartment, and Mason finds he is (as usual)involved in a murder case. The biography of the painter seems suggested by the life of Gauguin. ( ) An excellent Perry Mason mystery. Some shocking developments, and an interesting who-done-it, but not quite as spectacular as a few others. I like the relationship Mason has with Tragg. I liked the plot twist of having Mason fall victim to a con game - and watching him fight to get out of being made out a fool was interesting. I last read this 22 years ago. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Art student Maxine Lindsay, as the guest of her mentor, art dealer Colin Durant, attends a reception aboard the yacht of millionaire Otto Olney, who is unveiling his newest purchase, a $130,000 Gauguin. When Durant confides that the painting is a fake, Maxine becomes involved in a complicated series of deceptions. Soon gallery owner Leslie Rankin threatens Maxine. Perry Mason is called in, a beatnik artist is accused of painting the fake, and Durant is found fully clothed in Maxine's shower, shot dead with her pistol.
