Criminal lawyer and all-time #1 mystery author Erle Stanley Gardner
wrote close to 150 novels that have sold 300 million copies worldwide.
His most popular books starred the incomparable attorney-sleuth Perry
Mason. In The Case of the Howling Dog, Arthur Cartwright, an anxious
man, goes to Perry Mason to have his neighbor arrested for his
vindictive and noisy dog. He is under the belief that his howling is an
indication that somebody has been murdered in the neighborhood. He
demands that his will be written bequeathing the estate to the lady
living at the neighbor's house. However, the will is mysteriously
altered by an unknown person and Cartwright goes missing, along with the
lady.
