The Case of the Grinning Gorilla — Erle Stanley Gardner

Helen Cadmus was dead—but how had it happened?

It didn’t add up. Somebody was concealing the truth about Helen’s death, and he was going to uncover it even if it killed him.

That’s how Mason fell into a trap set by three killers—two humans and one grinning gorilla!
