Before there was Perry Mason… there was Ephraim Tutt.
Ephraim Tutt, Esq., is soft hearted and a sucker for the hard luck story even to the point of foregoing his retainer, if it means defending the downtrodden against the powerful and the corrupt. In Manhattan and his hometown of Pottsville, New York, he fights cases involving murder, forgery, and theft, always finding some arcane legal point to come up trumps – and stymie the prosecution. In this must-read collection, Tutt brings his sharp mind and gentle wit to bear on the cases of the "Mock Hen and Mock Turtle," the "Hepplewhite Tramp," the "Lallapaloosa Limited," and many others.
Based on author Arthur Train's experiences working in the offices of the New York District Attorney, Tutt and Mr. Tutt is a must-read for fans of legal mysteries.
