No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
With several briefs in the works and his usual typist unavailable, Perry Mason sends for one from a temp agency. When a carefully dressed woman appears at the office, the receptionist asks if she's the typist and she says yes.
Everyone notices she's terribly afraid of something, but boy, can she type! Later that day the offices of the South African Gem Importing and Exploration Company, located on the same floor as Mason's office, are rifled, and the typist disappears mysteriously -- even before she's finished typing the brief.
So with the introduction of South African diamonds into the case, it isn't long before murder follows, and Mason, assisted by his wonderful secretary Della Street and his private investigator Paul Drake, undertakes the intricate job of solving THE CASE OF THE TERRIFIED TYPIST.
