"Perry Mason Solves The Case Of The Ice-Cold Hands By Erle Stanley Gardner. Suppose You Had Embezzeld Some Money- And Bet It On The Nose On A Long Shot, At Fifty To One. And The Horse Came In First. With Your Winnings You Could Easily Replace The Money You Had Embezzled And Still Have A Big Profit. But When You Went To Cash In Your Winning Tickets, Your Employer Was There With A Cop To Arrest You For Embezzlement-And To Take Over Your Winnings. According To Him, The Money Had Always Been His And The Fact That You Had Made A Lucky Bet And Intended To Replace The Money You Had ""Borrowed"" Wouldn`T Stop You From Going To Jail Or Him From Collecting The Profits. Would That Be Cause For Murder? From The Inside Front Cover: ""Would You Mind If I Skipped The Preliminaries?"" Audrey Bicknell Asked. ""Go Ahead,"" Perry Mason Replied. ""I Have Here Five One-Hundred-Dollar Tickets On A Horse Whose Name Is Dough Boy And Who Is In The Third Race This Afternoon. At The Time The Tickets Were Purchased, The Odds Were Nearly Fifty To One."" ""What Do You Want Me To Do?"" ""If The Horse Wins, I Want You To Go To The Track Tomorrow Get The Money, And Wait For My Instructions."" ""And If The Horse Loses?"" ""Then You Won`T Have To Go,"" Audrey Said. And With That She Swept Out Of The Office. ""How Much Chance Does That Horse Stand Of Winning?"" Della Street Asked. ""That`S Not The Important Question Now,"" Perry Mason Said. ""That Horse Has Already Won! And She Knows It!"" "
