About the book
BLACK WIDOW There's no love lost between Delane Arlington's fiancée and his frosty family. The wealthy widower's heirs are extremely eager to keep their lovestruck uncle from tying the knot - and thus cutting off their route to easy street. That's what brings Selma Anson, Arlington's beleaguered bride-to-be, to Perry Mason's office. Wise investment of her late husband's insurance made Selma a well-off widow. But her prospective new groom's avaricious nieces and nephews have her pegged as a gold digger - and a gravedigger! They're determined to prove that Selma poisoned her first husband. Mason is equally determined to prove them liars. But when damning evidence turns up - and Selma takes off - it could make Perry's defense deadly difficult...
