The Case of the Velvet Claws
The Case of the Velvet Claws | Erle Stanley Gardner
4 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
Thanks to a bungled robbery at a fancy hotel, the already-married Eva Griffin has been caught in the company of a prominent congressman. To protect the politico, Eva's ready to pay the editor of a sleazy tabloid his hush money. But Perry Mason has other plans. He tracks down the phantom fat cat who secretly runs the blackmailing tabloid -- only to discover a shocking scoop. By the time Mason's comely client finally comes clean, her husband has taken a bullet in the heart. Now Perry Mason has two choices: represent the cunning widow in her wrangle for the dead man's money -- or take the rap for murder.

Raymond Burr was gay? This makes the fourth Gay Hunk that I've crushed on 😂🤔, I blame those stunning eyes of his.

How have I been a fan for so long and not known about this fact?

I found it tragic that Burr had to hide his relationship with his partner, of 35+ years, Robert Benevides.

As a Perry Mason fan, I want to publicly post a toast to the actor who made the Perry Mason character a Hollywood legend and the one who was his partner.

👇

AnnCrystal Raymond Burr and Robert Benevides, may you two have reunited in the hereafter and discovered that your love for each other remains alive. May the two of you forevermore be happy together.

I hope to one day visit the vineyard you began as a couple, and (even though I don't drink) properly sip a toast to you both with Raymond Burr wine.

Alway a fan 🥂💝.

AnnCrystal @kspenmoll 👏🏼🥳📺💝. Love that. I introduced Perry Mason to my mom, we both just love his show no matter how many times we've watched each episode before 📺💝. 1w
AnnCrystal @dabbe Truly. I found it tragic that he had to lie and make up stories about his personal life.

He gifted us with his incredible acting talent 🏆🎭 and I can't believe how he would have been lost to Hollywood if people had known back then.

MaGoose I'm watching the original Perry Mason series on CBS All-Access. I'll have to check out the modern series. Sorry, I don't like Benedict Cumberbatch as Sherlock - liked him as Dr. Strange, though. 5y
