Really? You looked? Was it curiosity or boredom that made you peek in to see what was in a self-deleted thread? Or did a suspicious nature drive you?

1. The Case of the Libelous Locket

Professor Edward Lindley is a highly respected law school professor who believes
that jurists and academics deserve credit for the maturing of the law, not trial lawyers.

That belief is soon tested when one of his students, Janice Norland, gets into trouble.
She believes she's killed a dance instructor she was involved with, Raul Perez.

They'd had a fight and she hit him with a poker but when they check out his apartment,
there is no body and no sign of the struggle Janice had described. Lindley turns to
Paul Drake to investigate and Paul thinks he sees an all too common blackmail racket.

But when the dance instructor is found dead the next night, Janice is charged with murder.
With Perry Mason in the hospital, Lindley decides to defend her himself.
