✦ Synopsis

Erle Stanley Gardner - The Case of the Backward Mule (1946), a Terry Clane mystery.

Note: this edition is very slightly bowdlerized, but the character of the story remains as it was in 1946.

Killer or not -- she had it coming!

Cynthia Renton's fiancé Edward has temporarily escaped his fate in the gas chamber, a fate handed down for the murder of one Horace Farnsworth. Cynthia also happens to be the ex-girlfriend of Terry Clane, which is a very good thing. Terry is convinced that Edward is innocent of the crime, and with the help of several Chinese friends, evades the police while conducting his own investigation into the murder.

“The master has done it again! A plot that never lets down from beginning to end, human and fascinating characters, a story told with authentic punch. Terry Clane, a quiet fellow, just back from China where he has been working on a secret government mission, runs into murder when he walks into San Francisco. Whisked straight to the police, he puts to use the result of his experiences in the Orient in order to beat the lie detector. It's certainly excellent mystery fare.”—Montreal Gazette
