Roller Coaster Ride of a Story
By Acute Observer
The Case of the Fiery Fingers, by Erle Stanley Gardner
This book is dedicated to Doctor Joseph T. Walker and begins by discussing circumstantial evidence, and the various inferences that can be drawn from a fact. It tells what scientific investigation can deduce from a discarded coat along a highway. Often an explanation for some physical clue may turn out to be incorrect. Gardner uses an example from Doctor Joseph T. Walker, an officer of the Massachusetts State Police, and that discarded coat. Doctor Walker has brought murderers to justice and prevented the unjust conviction of the innocent.
This story is as fast moving as a big roller coaster, with as many twists and turns to hold your interest until the last page. Erle Stanley Gardner's taut and sparse prose keeps the story moving along. It is one of the best "Perry Mason" mysteries, superior to any film or TV drama.
This book starts out when a practical nurse consults with Perry Mason over a possible murder, and ask how to prevent a murder! Next this nurse is arrested for stealing jewelry from her employer; Perry Mason defends her successfully. The problem is assigning guilt when there are numerous suspects. But this story is just starting! Then the patient she cares for is murdered by arsenic. The patient's sister is arrested; she hires Perry Mason to defend her. Now the story picks up speed, and we see numerous twists and surprises to this story. Just how Perry's client is not guilty of this murder comes out at the surprise ending.

A Rather Typical Perry Mason Story
By henry
I've been reading Gardner's Perry Mason books off and on for many years. Many years ago, I was an intense fan of the series, and read them all, at least once. Now, after a lot of water over the dam, I'm looking at them again.
Those who are used to really fine mystery writers (with the emphasis on "writer"), such as Ross Macdonald, may find the writing style here off-putting. It can be stiff and repititious. Nonetheless, I still love the general setting: the characters of Perry, Della, Paul, Lt. Tragg, and Hamilton Berger. That, and the ingenious plots, are why I read Perry Mason.
On the whole, the ones written by 1950 are the best. This one was written in 1951, and it is archetypical of the later books in the series (those after, say, 1945). By that I mean it is in many ways average, without embelishment. For example, unlike several written in the early 1950s, it does not involve organized crime. It does not involve an exotic or unusual site, such as a mountain cabin or a desert ranch. There is no fake elopement of Perry and Della. Perry does not switch guns or other evidence. There aren't two or three bodies or disappearing corpses.
What there is is a classic set up: a murder occurs in a domestic situation. The husband, Nathan Bain, has married a wealthy woman, Elizabeth. But he has a girl friend. Elizabeth finds out but refuses to grant a divorce. Soon there is a car crash, the wife is seriously injured and may never walk again. While she is recuperating at home with a nurse, jewelery starts disappearing. The husband hires a detective to investigate, who coats the jewelry case with a phosphorescent powder. The nurse is soon found with "fiery fingers", meaning she has touched the case. That is enough for the husband to have her arrested. Perry Mason defends her. The case is actually pretty easy, as Perry points out that there is really no evidence that the nurse ever reached inside the case, and several people could have touched the outside of the case. (We really have to wonder if in real life such a case would have been prosecuted.) So barely half way through the book we have our court room scenes.
Also in the household are a cousin, Victoria Braxton, who has just arrived with her husband to help take care of Elizabeth, and a house keeper, who has been there for a long time. Victoria comes to Mason with Elizabeth's holographic will leaving most of the money to her, Victoria, but the will seems to end oddly, as if it were unfinished. Within a short time the wife is dead, apparently
poisoned with arsenic. This time, suspicion does not fall on the nurse, as she seems to have no motive, but on Victoria, who now also shows some "fiery fingers." The jewel box again? She is arrested for murder and Perry takes the case. The holographic will now seems more complete. Did Victoria change it?
There is good use of Holcomb and a bit with Tragg. There are some excellent courtroom scenes with Hamilton Burger. The ending is good for several reasons. One is that Perry asks a key witness a simple question about the disappearing jewels, one that I kicked myself for not thinking of. Another is the clever method by which Perry gets a key witness to reveal something, a method that skirts around the edge of the law.
I did not like the fact that a certain piece of "damning evidence" against Victoria Braxton is revealed by Burger with a chapter or two to go. But it is apparently just a coincidence, one that is rather "hard to swallow," so to speak.
In summary, we have here the standard classic features of a typical Perry Mason story: good courtroom scenes with Burger, a wealthy wife, a domestic murder, a situation where Perry skirts around the edge of the law and gets away with it, a client who may be pulling a fast one in some way. Holcomb and Tragg play their stereotypical roles as bad cop/good cop. That's all good. Yet in the end, some of those nonstandard features would have added some pizzaz.
