1) THE CASE OF THE CALENDAR GIRL, Walter J. Black, Roslyn, New York, 1958.  It all starts with a minor automobile accident during which a photogenic model sustains nothing more serious than a few contusions. From here on, it becomes a matter of snap decisions, snap judgments and snap-shots, one of them decidedly candid, and one distinctly fatal. When Perry Mason steps into the spotlight his arch-foe, Hamilton Burger of the D.A.'s office, is just about to make a killing of his own, or so he thinks. But in two superb courtroom exposures, each featuring a different defendant, the famous detective-lawyer, aided by Della Street and Paul Drake, flashes to victory in one of the most birlliant photo-finishes of his long and distinguised career.

2) THE CASE OF THE LUCKY LOSER, Walter J. Black, Roslyn, New York, 1957.  The voice on the phone was young and silky. The woman it belonged to touched something soft in Perry Mason's cool, legalistic mind. The offer she made was too intriguing to pass up. But what began as a request for a simple courtroom visit turned into an intrigue of baffling complexity -- as well as one of the most cleverly rigged frame-ups of Perry's career.   Its a case of a family blessed with millions and, riddled with scandal, a case of accidental manslaughter that explodes into a charge of airtight murder, a case of a corpse dying not once, but twice. To save his client, Perry will have to break all the rules-and more than one law.
