This copy presents exceptionally well, retaining sharp, unbumped corners and crisp, unmarked black boards with bright, unoxidised silver and gilt lettering to the spine. The binding remains remarkably tight, suggesting the book has been scarcely read, while internally the pages are clean, bright, and entirely free from ownership inscriptions or marginalia. The only minor imperfection is some very light, scattered spotting to the bottom edge of the text block, which does not intrude onto the pages themselves. The book is housed in a dust jacket that remains vibrant and sharp, exhibiting only the faintest trace of shelf-wear to the extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note\u003c\/b\u003e: This volume represents the first trade edition of Erle Stanley Gardner's \u003ci data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"89\"\u003eThe Case of the Fenced-In Woman\u003c\/i\u003e.

The fence was erected by the ex-wife of the contractor who built the home, who claims half ownership following a bitter divorce. When a dead body is found on the disputed territory, the bizarre property dispute rapidly escalates into a complex murder charge, prompting Eden to enlist the formidable legal mind of Perry Mason to unravel a web of deceit, vengeance, and fatal consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55733262451027,"sku":"6800","price":22.7,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20261028_135516.jpg?v=1793786872","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/the-case-of-the-fenced-in-woman-erle-stanley-gardner-1st-ed","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
