"A shot... A splash... A shout... and Perry Mason finds himself treading the deepest water of his career. This time he nearly goes under... Things were tense aboard Parker Benton's yacht. About the only thing the group had in common was the bad weather and a highly controversial business proposition. When that subject came up, tempers came out--and in no time at all the spine-chilling cry 'Man O-ver-boar-r-d' cut through the fog. When murder broke loose, Perry Mason found himself involved in a beautiful women, several experienced chiselers and a plot that will keep you glued to the edge of your chair." --

This book offers a critically informed yet relaxed historical overview of the legal thriller, a unique contribution to crime fiction where most of the titles have been written by professionals such as lawyers and judges. The legal thriller typically uses court trials as the suspense-creating background for presenting legal issues reflecting a wide range of concerns, from corporate conflicts to private concerns, all in a dramatic but highly informed manner. With authors primarily from the USA and the UK, the genre is one which nonetheless enjoys a global reading audience. As well as providing a survey of the legal thriller, this book takes a gender–focused approach to analyzing recently published titles within the field. It also argues for the fascination of the legal thriller both in the way its narrative pattern parallels that of an actual court trial, and by the way it reflects, frequently quite critically, the concerns of contemporary society.
