Perry Mason is the protagonist in a series of detective fiction novels and stories by American novelist Erle Stanley Gardner. Mason works as a defense lawyer, but usually ends up working as a detective in the process in order to clear his client’s name. The series was adapted to the TV series of the same name from 1957 until 1966, which starred Raymond Burr. Burr also appeared in 26 television movies from 1985 until 1993. The character also appeared in several films, radioplays, comics and a second TV series.
Perry Mason made his debut in the novel The Case of the Velvet Claws, which was published in 1933. Gardner ended up writing 89 novels and short story collections featuring the Perry Mason character. His final novel in the series was 1973 – lasting 40 years – and was entitled The Case of the Postponed Murder. In addition, a novel entitled The Case of the Burning Bequest was written by Thomas Chastain, which was published in 1990.
