Sinopse

In "The Firebug," Roy J. Snell presents a gripping tale woven with suspense and psychological intensity, set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America. The narrative intricately explores themes of obsession and morality through the story of a pyromaniac whose destructive impulses challenge societal norms and test the limits of human integrity. Snell's literary style is marked by vivid imagery, taut dialogue, and intense character development, which collectively create a haunting atmosphere that immerses readers in the protagonist's turmoil. The context of the book invites reflection on the issues of crime and punishment, pushing one to consider personal responsibility within a broader societal framework. Roy J. Snell, an accomplished author and screenwriter, was known for his ability to capture the complexities of human emotions and societal challenges throughout the early 1900s. His own experiences growing up in an era marked by rapid changes in technology and crime likely informed his insights into the darker aspects of human nature as depicted in "The Firebug." Snell'Äôs interest in the interplay between societal constructs and individual choices resonates throughout his work, allowing readers to explore the psychological underpinnings of his characters. This compelling read is highly recommended for those interested in psychology, crime fiction, and moral dilemmas, as well as anyone eager to delve deep into the human psyche. "The Firebug" is not only an entertaining novel but also a thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of unchecked desires, making it essential reading for both casual readers and literary scholars alike.

    Perry Mason risks his freedom to prove the innocence of an unidentified client: “Fast-paced . . . the question of whodunit, as always, gets an unexpected answer.” —Publishers Weekly   The bait is half of a $10,000 bill, delivered to Perry Mason by a man who promises the second half of the note should his companion, a silent masked woman, ever require the lawyer’s services. When a dead body is discovered soon after, Mason feels the hook―but how can one prove the innocence of a person whose identity is unknown?    Suspecting he’s been set up, but curious nonetheless, Perry sets out to solve the mystery from the ground up, beginning with the face behind the veil. The more he learns, the more complex his investigation becomes. Uncovering a convoluted case of stock fraud, divorce, and inheritance, Mason’s nearly left reeling―that is until, with the help of Della Street and Paul Drake, he pulls off one of his most daring gambits ever to finally cast light on the killer.   Filled with memorable characters, a multitude of motives, and just a few red herrings, The Case of the Baited Hook is classic Perry Mason, showcasing the character’s brilliance and pizazz with a plot that pushes his powers into overdrive. As puzzling as it is entertaining, the book exemplifies the style that made Edgar Award winner Erle Stanley Gardner one of the most popular authors of the twentieth century and inspired the hit HBO series.   “A good Perry Mason yarn . . . Perry moves fast to outmaneuver his opponents.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)   “[The] Mason books remain tantalizing on every page and brilliant.” —Scott Turow, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of The Last Trial   "A good starting point for those new to Gardner’s celebrated attorney.”― Publishers Weekly
