The Case of the Autographed Corpse (Beach Reads)

Today, we're joined by author Jack El-Hai to talk about his new book, The Case of the Autographed Corpse. It's all about Erle Stanley Gardner, inventor of the beloved fictional criminal defense attorney Perry Mason, and how Gardner took action to help exonerate wrongfully convicted prisoners in real life. One such prison inmate was Silas John Edwards, an Apache medicine man convicted of murder. If you'd like to support the show, please consider becoming a patron at www.patreon.com/artofcrimepodcast.
