Virginia Baxter is the only witness still living who can vouch for the authenticity of Lauretta Trent's will. Wealthy widow Lauretta Trent is still living, but for how long? Someone has been peppering the spicy food she loves with arsenic. Could it be the same someone who framed Virginia Baxter for drug smuggling? Lauretta Trent doesn't trust her greedy heirs. But could a scheming servant be behind a master plan to fleece her estate? But when Lauretta Trent is found murdered on the highway, all the evidence places Virginia Baxter in the driver's seat. Perry Mason will figure it all out in the end.
