Features: However, the Golden Age detective fiction also has equally renowned prosecutors and lawyers in the courtroom. Below is an introduction. The first one to mention is the famous lawyer Perry Mason. He was created by the American court novel king Stanley Gardner and is classified as a cool. I have read about a dozen Mason detective novels, most of which follow a similar plot pattern: the client comes to ask Mason for help, and then Mason not only has to gather favorable evidence but sometimes also has to clean up the mess for an ignorant defendant who accidentally violates the law, helping him out of the predicament. In the end, he faces the prosecutor in court, presents astonishing evidence, and achieves a dramatic courtroom reversal, revealing that the murder case had another culprit, while the original defendant was merely a scapegoat, unable to speak for themselves. This plot pattern is quite cliché, but the most attractive charm of this series lies in the final courtroom showdown. We can see not only Mason's exceptional eloquence and sharp questioning and defense in court but also the surprising truth behind the reversal, which makes us admire Mason's meticulous reasoning process. Another intriguing aspect is Mason's quick-wittedness in navigating the edge of the law, leaving the police speechless and unable to do anything about him. At the same time, although Mason is known as a cool, he shows great compassion when taking on cases and can work tirelessly to fight for the defendant's justice. Later, the rights to the sequel of Mason detective novels were acquired by Thomas Chastain, who continued to write new Mason detective stories. The Rented Girl: Mason repeatedly sees a dark-haired beautiful woman waiting at several street corners, who are similar in figure and age, all wearing black clothes with a fur collar. This strange phenomenon piques his curiosity, leading him to discover an extremely peculiar job advertisement and eventually find the selected candidate, the charming Eva Martel. Mason's curiosity is satisfied, but he didn't expect it to lead him into a murder case. He has no choice but to work tirelessly as Eva's defense attorney and argue in court. The Floating Doll: Stricken by emotional trauma, Christine drives off to avoid an embarrassing situation and picks up a woman who asks for a ride. Unbeknownst to her, the woman, driven by impulse, violently grabs the steering wheel, causing the car to plunge off a cliff. Miraculously surviving, Christine is faced with the bloody and mangled body of the passenger. She suddenly has an idea and decides to impersonate the deceased's name and identity to return to reality. She does so, but she didn't expect the consequences to be extortion and blackmail, ultimately being charged as a murder suspect and brought to court. With her help, Mason gets involved in the case. How can he save this unfortunate young woman?
