The Case of the Horrified Heirs is a 1964 Perry Mason mystery novel by Erle Stanley Gardner. The story begins when the famed attorney is hired by a woman named Virginia Baxter. Virginia is the sole surviving witness to the will of a wealthy and eccentric widow, Lauretta Trent, who distrusts her greedy relatives. Someone is slowly poisoning Lauretta with arsenic, and suspicion naturally falls on her expectant heirs. The case takes a sharp turn when Lauretta is murdered, but not by poison. She is killed on a highway, and all the evidence fabrication points directly to Perry Mason’s new client, Virginia Baxter, as the person in the driver’s seat. Mason must unravel the complex scheme, clear his client’s name, and expose the true killer who is manipulating the situation to frame Virginia and inherit the fortune.
